Towards a 100% Renewable Uruguay: Challenges and Opportunities in the Energy Transition

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Uruguay is on path toward a 100% renewable energy system, achieving 91% renewable electricity generation in 2022. This report analyzes the challenges and opportunities of this transition in the face of growing energy demand and the challenges posed by climate variability. Through the OSeMOSYS model, three scenarios were evaluated: Tendential (TR), Water Scarcity Scenario (WS), and Water Scarcity + Grid-Connected Batteries (WS+GCB), focusing on the evolution of the energy matrix and the resilience of the system in response to reduced water resources.
