As the world accelerates its shift towards sustainable energy solutions, green energy has become a priority for countries aiming to reduce CO2 emissions and reliance on fossil fuels in the search for a cleaner, more resilient electricity supply for the future. Latin America, a region with abundant natural resources and some of the world’s cleanest electricity grids, is uniquely positioned to lead this global transformation.
With Brazil — a regional leader and global influencer in green energy — hosting the G20 summit in 2024 and COP30 in 2025, Latin America is poised to take centre stage in achieving global climate targets. These events further highlight the region’s commitment to sustainable growth and its vital role in leveraging its renewable strengths to drive the global energy transition forward.
Green Energy Report 2024: An in-depth look at Latin America’s energy transition
Sixty percent (60%) of Latin America’s energy is already derived from renewable sources, with each country in the region uniquely contributing to renewable energy projects. Brazil, Chile and Mexico are at the forefront of regional renewable energy growth. Latin America is projected to add over 190 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, and Brazil is expected to account for more than half (58%) of this.
However, despite abundant resources, Latin America faces critical obstacles—from infrastructure gaps to regulatory challenges—that can hinder its energy transition.
To showcase the region’s evolving green energy landscape, Sherlock Communications developed Latin America’s Green Energy Report 2024 — a comprehensive overview of progress and obstacles on the path toward sustainable development in six regional markets.
Drawing on insights from sector experts across the region, this renewable energy report offers an in-depth look at the unique opportunities and challenges shaping Latin America’s renewable energy evolution.
