The region reached 68% renewable electricity generation, with a year-over-year increase of 4% in total production.<\/em><\/p>\n

Electricity generation in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) totaled 152 terawatt-hours (TWh) in February 2025, with a renewability rate of 68%, according to the monthly electricity generation report by The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE).<\/p>\n

Other sources followed: natural gas accounted for 22.7%, wind energy represented 8.5%, while solar and nuclear energy contributed 4.5% and 2.4%, respectively. These figures highlight the notable diversity within an energy system predominantly based on renewable resources.<\/p>\n

Compared to the previous year, total production was higher, showing a 4% increase from the 146 TWh recorded in February 2024. This growth was primarily due to significant improvements in hydroelectric performance (+8.5 TWh), along with smaller increases from oil and nuclear power plants.<\/p>\n

Seven countries in the region exceeded 75% electricity penetration from exclusively renewable sources. Among them, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Brazil, and Uruguay reported rates even higher than 92%.<\/p>\n

This information demonstrates the progressive advancement of the energy transition in the region toward cleaner and more sustainable electricity matrices, with lower environmental impact. This shift is driven not only to ensure energy security but also to foster favorable conditions for sustainable economic development in Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
