The Solution to Intermittency Renewable sources—hydroelectric power, wind, biomass, and solar energy—now cover up to 98% of Uruguay’s energy needs in a normal year and still over 90% in a very dry one, according to Méndez.
Once reliant on exorbitantly priced fossil fuel imports for nearly half of its energy needs, Uruguay has gone from suffering frequent blackouts and power cuts to relative energy sovereignty based almost entirely on electricity generated from a stable mix of wind, solar, hydroelectric, and bioenergy sources.

Wood pulp plants, for example, are now burning organic waste to produce energy for the grid, turning what was an environmental liability into an energy asset.
Both nuclear and solar power offer reliable, scalable options to complement current energy sources, reduce dependency on external factors like rainfall or fuel supply, and strengthen Uruguay’s green energy infrastructure. Uruguay''s journey with low-carbon electricity has seen significant developments over the decades, particularly in hydropower.
