7% THE TOTAL GLOBAL AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY LATIN AMERICA GENERATES INTRODUCTION Latin America is the new frontier for clean and sustainable energy, the new hot spot for renewable energy. In 2013, Latin America attracted about US$16 billion of investment in the clean energy sector, representing over seven per cent of total global investments in renewable energy [1]. Decreasing technology costs and increasingly supportive policies in the clean energy field have allowed the region to become an exciting market for renewable energy. Today Latin America generates about seven percent of total global electricity, and almost 65 per cent of that comes from renewable sources [2]. The largest share comes from hydropower: more than 725 terawatt-hours (TWh)1. Non-traditional renewable electricity sources (such as solar, wind, geothermal, etc.) account for only six percent of the power mix in the continent. It is expected that by 2050 over 20 per cent of the electricity generated in the region will come from non-hydro renewables [4]. From the northern Sonora Dessert in Mexico to southern Argentinian Patagonia, the region is loaded with vast renewable energy resources. They alone could supply over 20 times the electricity demand expected by 2050, which will nearly triple to about 3,500 TWh [5]. The region’s estimated onshore wind energy potential, about 1,600 TWh, would alone be enough to fully power the continent’s current electricity demand [6]. Electricity consumption is expected to increase annually by three per cent. By 2030, this rate of growth will require the region to almost double its installed power, to about 600,000 MW [5]. Taking into account these massive power infrastructure requirements, renewable energy could be established as leading source of power. It could shift the region’s energy model towards a more sustainable one. In the period between 2006 and 2013, total renewable energy capacity in Latin America and the Caribbean grew more than 270 per cent2. In the same period, more than 3,000 MW of new additional renewable capacity were brought on line [2]. There is no reason why the region’s success in renewable energy could not continue to be extended over the coming decades. There are several renewable energy success stories offering exciting examples of the potential for a clean energy revolution in the region. Five of the 26 countries of Latin America distinguish themselves for renewable energy performance. They shine thanks to the enabling environment created by their energy and industrial policies, the growing renewable energy investment attractiveness they have created, and the high speed in which clean technologies have penetrated into their energy markets. Latin America is booming for renewable energy, but these five countries are particularly raising the bar for clean energy transformation. This report is WWF’s compilation of renewable energy success stories in Latin America. Based upon different indicators such as the Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF)’s Climate Scope Score 2014, 2013 & 2012 [2][7][8]; the Ernst and Young (E&Y)’s Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index 2014 & 2013 [9][10]; and the World Energy Council (WEC)’s Sustainability Index 2013 [11], this report ranks the five countries with the most exciting development in clean energy. This compilation promotes their achievements in reshaping the energy paradigm of the continent. They are making renewable energy Latin America ́s new normal. 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) is equal to 1,000,000 gigawatts-hour(GWh). For reference, the electricity consumption of the USA (2011) was around 4,100 TWh [3]. 2 From 11.3 GW in 2006 to 30.6 GW in 2013 [2][7].
