'Rio de Janeiro (AFP) – Latin America is poised to become a major renewable
energy producer, with nearly a billion solar panels' worth of large-scale
clean-electricity projects slated to come online in the next seven years, a
report found Thursday.
In welcome good news for the climate-change race, researchers said Latin
American countries had more than 319 gigawatts of utility-scale solar- and
wind-power projects due to be launched by 2030 — equal to nearly 70 percent of
the region's total current electrical capacity from all sources combined.
"Rich in wind and solar resources, Latin America has the potential to be a
global leader for renewable energy," said the report by the Global Energy
Monitor (GEM), a US-based non-profit that tracks clean-energy development.
The new projects — which include planned installations and those already under
construction — would expand Latin America's current utility-scale solar- and
wind-power capacity by more than 460 percent, it found.
That makes the region a "global standout" on renewables, said Kasandra O'Malia,
project manager at GEM.'
