Latin America and Caribbean Energy Transition Market by Power Types
The major power types in the Latin America and Caribbean energy transition market are coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydro, onshore wind, offshore wind, solar PV, solar thermal, and geothermal. Hydropower was the largest source of electricity generation in LAC in 2021 and will remain the largest source of renewable generation in the region.
The increasing cost effectiveness of renewables will decrease reliance on thermal power sources, but capacity will likely be maintained as a backup in the event of renewable intermittency challenges.

Latin America and Caribbean Energy Transition Market, Major Sectors
Major sectors in the Latin America and Caribbean energy transition market are electric vehicles, renewable energy, CCS/ CCUS, and hydrogen.
Electric Vehicles: Adoption of electric vehicles within the LAC region has been slow so far, with electric vehicles holding just a 3.5% share of total light vehicles across Mercosur countries. Adoption rates fall well below the global average, with electric vehicles accounting for almost 30% of light vehicles globally. As a result, the LAC region has a small presence within the global EV market, with EVs within the region accounting for a mere 0.1% of global electric vehicles.
Renewable Fuels: The LAC region’s supply of renewable fuels is expected to increase strongly within the next decade, increasing at a CAGR of 59% between 2020 and 2030. This increase will be facilitated by a growing number of renewable refineries, with five addition facilities coming online before the end of the decade. 54% of the projects being based in Brazil will further consolidate the country’s position as a leader in the renewable fuels space.

Key Highlights
Between 2018-2035 renewable power capacity is expected to strongly increase. Offshore wind will experience the strongest growth, experiencing a CAGR of 46% between 2023-2035, although this is largely a reflection of the current capacity being extremely low.
Other strong growth segments in terms of capacity include solar PV, which will experience a CAGR of 11.2% between 2023 and 2035 and geothermal, which will experience a growth of 7.88% across the same time frame
By 2035, the LAC region is expected to achieve 75% renewable generation, exceeding the RELAC initiative regional target.
Adoption of electric vehicles within the LAC region has been slow so far, with electric vehicles holding just a 3.5% share of total light vehicles across Mercosur countries.
Brazil is expected to remain one of the world’s largest ethanol markets by 2040, taking one-third of the global market. Brazil will also account for 92% of the LAC region’s ethanol production in 2040.
