The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), in its Monthly Electricity Generation Report, reported that in September 2025 electricity generation in the region reached 156 TWh, a year-on-year increase of 3.3%. Hydropower remained the leading generation source, with a 45.7% share, driven by improved hydrological conditions in several countries across the region.<\/p>\n

The report highlights that the Renewability Index reached 65%, recovering from the previous month, thanks to a greater share of clean sources and a reduction in natural gas-fired generation, whose share fell to 24%. Solar energy posted 5% monthly growth, associated with the commissioning of new photovoltaic installations, while generation from coal and other fossil fuels continued to decline.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the national level, 11 of OLACDE’s 27 member countries exceeded the regional renewability average, led by Paraguay and Uruguay (100%), Costa Rica (98%), Venezuela (92%), Ecuador (90%), Brazil (89%), Colombia (86%), El Salvador (79%), Belize (77%), Panama (74%), and Chile (70%). These results confirm the region’s progress toward a cleaner, more resilient, and sustainable electricity mix, with renewable energy as the central pillar of energy development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
