Invenergy currently operates two renewable energy projects in Uruguay—La Jacinta Solar Farm (64 MW) and Campo Palomas Wind Farm (70 MW). In recent years, Invenergy has been expanding its presence in Latin America, helping to accelerate the growth of sustainable energy in the region.
Uruguay primarily imports natural gas from Argentina via the Gasoducto Cruz del Sur. As of May 2021, there are no new projects proposed for oil and gas in Uruguay. Uruguay generates nearly half of its electricity from wind and solar, more than any other country in Latin America and the Caribbean.
“We are very excited to work with Invenergy on this project and contribute to Uruguay’s transmission grid by constructing key infrastructure for UTE,” said Daniel Vazquez, CEO of Ingener. The Cardal Transmission project is Invenergy’s third project in Uruguay.
Biomass from wood, cattle, and edible oils is another important form of power generation in Uruguay, accounting for 15% in 2019. A pilot project for green hydrogen is underway 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).
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.
