Why does Uruguay generate a surplus of electricity?

Typically, Uruguay generates a surplus of electricity due to an excess of wind-power capacity. The country seeks to identify additional domestic uses for excess electricity and potentially increase exports to Argentina and Brazil.

How many charging stations are there in Uruguay?

In May 2022, there were 89 charging stations and 122 chargers, distributed in most departments of the country. The electric vehicles sold in Uruguay have Type 2 connectors according to UNIT standards (UNIT – IEC 61851-1:2017 and UNIT - 1234:2016).

How much electricity does Uruguay generate?

According to 2022 data from MIEM, Uruguay generated 14,759 GWh of electricity, 13,343 GWh for internal demand and exported 1,416 GWh to Brazil and Argentina Typically, Uruguay generates a surplus of electricity due to an excess of wind-power capacity.

How much electricity did Uruguay export in 2022?

In 2022, exports of electricity represented $222 million which was less than 50 percent of the total amount of electricity exported in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a severe drought which adversely affected the generation in Uruguay.

What percentage of energy is generated by biomass in Uruguay?

In 2021, biomass represented 41 percent of the total energy supply in Uruguay, while oil and its derivatives were responsible for 42 percent. Uruguay’s high percentage of biomass energy generation is a result of cellulose industry expansion where energy is generated from wood waste products.

How many hydroelectric plants are there in Uruguay?

Uruguay’s hydroelectric generation capacity is 1,500 megawatts (MW) from four hydroelectric plants: Salto Grande (Salto), Palmar/Constitución (Rio Negro/Soriano), Rincón del Bonete (Tacuarembó/Durazno) and Baygorria (Rio Negro/Durazno).
