In 2019, renewables accounted for roughly one third of the primary energy consumption in South America (excluding Chile). This was the highest figure recorded in over a decade. Nevertheless, values vary significantly across the region. For example, renewables make up a share of less than ten percent of Argentina's primary consumption, while it accounts for nearly half of Brazil's domestic energy supply.
