✦ Synopsis

W

hile the use of hydropower and biomass in Latin America has progressed considerably over the previous decades, wind, solar and geothermal potentials are still vastly underutilized. Currently there is no general grid feed law, but rather many diverse projects instead. Despite the vast potential, a substantial Latin American renewable energy industry does not yet exist (aside from the production of solar thermal systems, biomass converters, hydro power turbines and small scale wind turbines). The huge potential in renewable energies and its inherent political advantages, such as liberation from fossil fuel imports, is in the process of being recognized by the public, government and the industry. For the years to come, promising initiatives and programs are on their way.
