In 2023, almost 90 percent of the electricity generated in Uruguay was from renewable energy sources. Since September 2022, the main source of electricity in this Latin American country has been wind power, which accounted for a 43 percent share of the domestic electricity production. Hydropower followed at 33 percent. Between 2008 and 2009, before the energy transition in Uruguay, hydropower and thermal energy were the only sources of electricity.
