How has the electricity system changed in Uruguay?
The Uruguayan electricity system has gone from being a centralized and inflexible hydrothermal system to a geographically distributed system throughout the country, adding wind, solar, and biomass waste generation to the historical power plants.
How has Uruguay changed its role as a net electricity importer?
Uruguay changed its role from a net electricity importer to net electricity exporter. The very strong incorporation of generation plants based on wind and solar resources has allowed Uruguay to systematically rank second globally, after Denmark, in terms of the share of variable renewable sources in 2021.
Why does Uruguay generate a surplus of electricity?
Typically, Uruguay generates a surplus of electricity due to an excess of wind-power capacity. The country seeks to identify additional domestic uses for excess electricity and potentially increase exports to Argentina and Brazil.
How much electricity does Uruguay generate?
According to 2022 data from MIEM, Uruguay generated 14,759 GWh of electricity, 13,343 GWh for internal demand and exported 1,416 GWh to Brazil and Argentina Typically, Uruguay generates a surplus of electricity due to an excess of wind-power capacity.
How much electricity did Uruguay export in 2022?
In 2022, exports of electricity represented $222 million which was less than 50 percent of the total amount of electricity exported in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a severe drought which adversely affected the generation in Uruguay.
Is Uruguay a repeatable framework of energy sovereignty for developing countries?
Ramón Mendéz Galain believes so. Uruguay’s former national director of energy in the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining, who was the impetus for the country’s shift away from dirty fuels, has been promoting the country’s success as a repeatable framework of energy sovereignty for developing countries.
