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.

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.
Brazil is now discussing the implementation of new regulatory framework to allow pumped storage hydropower to be developed in the country, taking advantage of the country’s existing supply chain and providing a sustainable solution for the National Grid’s growing needs.
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.
