In 2007, the government launched the Uruguay Wind Energy Program to reduce reliance on costly fossil fuel imports using a Global Environment Facility grant of $1 million coupled with $6 million from its own budget. This program kickstarted wind development through the following measures:
Uruguay began exporting excess wind power to Argentina in 2016. As a result, wind development exceeded the government’s initial expectations, with wind energy generation near 5,000 gigawatt hours and generating about 40% of the country’s electricity.
Around 1,000 workers at a Brazilian turbine blade factory owned by LM Wind Power face losing their jobs after the GE Vernova subsidiary decided to end production there. “Due to declining demand in the Latin American market, our blade factory in Suape, Brazil, will cease operations,” an LM Wind Power spokesperson told Recharge.
While there aren''t yet any offshore wind energy projects operating, several Latin American countries are interested in tapping into their offshore wind resources. In the offshore wind space, Latin America, with its extensive coastlines and favorable wind conditions holds significant potential for harnessing this energy source.
