After four consecutive years of growth between 2015 and 2019, net additions to the solar and wind installed capacity in Latin America fell drastically in 2020, mainly as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, it is forecast that solar and wind capacity additions in the region will recover in 2021, surpassing 11 gigawatts.
