In its electricity generation report, the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) reported that, in June 2025, Latin America and the Caribbean generated 159 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, with 71% coming from renewable sources. Hydropower maintained its lead with a 51.3% share, followed by natural gas (20.4%), wind (10.1%) and solar (4.8%), consolidating a predominantly clean regional energy mix.
Despite a 6% monthly decrease compared to May, the report highlights year-on-year growth of 5% compared to June 2024. Hydropower was the fastest-growing source, adding 16.3 TWh over the past twelve months, driven by favorable hydrological conditions. In contrast, natural gas registered the largest contraction, with 7.7 TWh less than the previous year.
The report also notes that nine countries in the region exceeded the regional renewability index, including Paraguay and Costa Rica, which reached 100%, followed by Uruguay (98%), Brazil (95%) and Colombia (91%). According to OLACDE, these results confirm the region’s leadership in renewable generation and reflect a sustained trend of 7% annual growth in cumulative electricity production over the past three years.
