Uruguay receives an average 1,700 KW per square meter of sunlight a year, on par with Mediterranean countries although solar represents only a fraction of the country’s total electricity production. Uruguay’s Investment Promotion Law offers incentives for investing in solar manufacturing, systems implementation, and solar energy utilization.
Once reliant on exorbitantly priced fossil fuel imports for nearly half of its energy needs, Uruguay has gone from suffering frequent blackouts and power cuts to relative energy sovereignty based almost entirely on electricity generated from a stable mix of wind, solar, hydroelectric, and bioenergy sources.
The map of Uruguay’s electrical grid today is starkly different from that of 2008, when the majority of power was generated at a few hydroelectric dams north of Montevideo and the rest at a handful of fossil fuel plants in the capital. It’s now possible for the entire grid to run several hours a day entirely on wind power.
The true transformation began with a bold bet on wind energy. By 2008, Uruguay was experiencing economic growth that outpaced its existing energy supply. As demand surged, blackouts became more frequent, leading to increased electricity bills and the implementation of rationing measures.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
