The Latin America Energy Outlook, the International Energy Agency’s first in-depth and comprehensive assessment of Latin America and the Caribbean, builds on decades of collaboration with partners. In support of the region's energy goals, the report explores the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
As the region emerges from a period of sluggish economic growth, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean now stand to leverage these resources to revitalise their economies and improve the security and sustainability of energy around the world.
How Latin America and the Caribbean uses its vast resources will shape the region’s energy future and the role it plays in the global energy system. Latin America and the Caribbean encompasses a region that is both large and diverse in terms of economic development and natural resources.
The total global storage capacity of 23 million GWh is 300 times larger than the world’s average electricity production of 0.07 million GWh per day. 12 Pumped hydro energy storage will primarily be used for medium term storage (hours to weeks) to support variable wind and solar PV electricity generation.
Electricity becomes more central to the regional economy and is the fastest growing final form of energy in Latin America and the Caribbean. Electricity demand grows by 90% to 2050 with today’s policy settings and by 180% to fulfil all pledges and targets, which doubles the share of electricity in total final consumption.
Consequently, pumped hydro is currently the largest source of electrical energy storage with more than 95% of the world’s electricity storage power (GW) capacity and 99% of the storage energy (GWh).
