Uruguay is proof in point that the renewable energy transition isn’t just possible — it’s powerful. In less than a decade, the country shifted from fossil fuel dependence to sourcing over 98% of its electricity from renewables, while reducing and stabilising costs and creating economic opportunities through the creation of over 50,000 jobs.

Political will, public trust, and people working together to rewrite the rules of what’s possible is what ignited this systemic revolution in Uruguay.

From empowering local communities to rethinking how energy markets operate, Uruguay offers a blueprint for countries everywhere for a resilient, secure and sustainable energy future.
