FAQS about South America Energy Storage Power Generation Project
Is hydropower a cornerstone of South America's energy infrastructure?
Providing 45% of electricity supply in South America, hydropower stands “as a cornerstone of the region’s energy infrastructure”, the International Hydropower Association reports in its 2024 World Hydropower Outlook.
Is hydropower the future of South America?
Hydropower remains the backbone of South America’s energy system, and as the region embraces innovation and sustainability – through certified projects and hybrid systems such as floating solar – its vast Andean-Amazon potential continues to shape a resilient, renewable future.

Why is hydropower important in South America?
Hydropower is vital for South America’s energy mix, and thanks to natural resources such as the Andes mountains and the Amazon basin, potential for generation is vast. A mere 30% of the region’s hydropower potential is currently being exploited, but even that satisfies approximately 45% of the continent’s electricity demand.
Which countries are focusing on hydropower development in South America?
Currently only utilising about 20% of its estimated hydropower potential, to help support further development, Argentina has implemented several policies and incentives including feed-in tariffs and PPAs specially targeting small hydro schemes up to 30MW. Another country in South America to watch, according to the IHA, is Bolivia.
What happened to Argentine hydropower projects in 2023?
Four Argentine hydropower projects, equating to 4380MW or 42% of the nation’s total hydropower capacity, faced contract termination in late 2023. Although the country’s Secretary of Energy granted an extension for these it raised concern about future operational continuity.
Is Colombia's hydropower project a threat to energy security?
Likewise, the 2,400MW Ituango Hydroelectric Project in Colombia – South America’s largest ongoing hydropower scheme – has only recently begun phased commissioning amid significant technical and social challenges, yet its full capacity will be critical for the country’s energy security once all turbines are online.
