Latin America’s Green Energy Report
Latin America at the Heart of the Energy Transition
Latin America’s pivotal role in the Global Energy transition
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.
Exclusive Insights from Industry Experts
The Green Energy Report 2024 delivers valuable insights from sector experts across six Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru).
We spoke to Cristiano Lopes Saito at Aggreko Brazil; Estefanía González Del Fierro at Greenpeace Chile along with Peru´s former Minister of Environment, Fabiola Muñoz, among other notable figures. Voices featured in this report offer valuable insights to showcase the region’s achievements and the areas that require strategic attention to unlock its full, long-term renewable energy potential.

The G20 Summit and Brazil’s hosting of COP30 in 2025 underscore the region’s commitment to a more inclusive, financially supported path to sustainability, especially for lower-income nations. Each country in Latin America offers unique strengths, from Chile’s solar resources to Argentina’s expanding wind sector, highlighting diverse paths towards a sustainable future.
The decisions made at both of these summits will shape not just Latin America’s energy journey but also set a global precedent that could influence energy transition goals for all G20 nations.
