6 FAQs about [Uruguay energy storage and applications]
How much electricity does Uruguay generate?
According to 2022 data from MIEM, Uruguay generated 14,759 GWh of electricity, 13,343 GWh for internal demand and exported 1,416 GWh to Brazil and Argentina Typically, Uruguay generates a surplus of electricity due to an excess of wind-power capacity.
Why does Uruguay generate a surplus of electricity?
Typically, Uruguay generates a surplus of electricity due to an excess of wind-power capacity. The country seeks to identify additional domestic uses for excess electricity and potentially increase exports to Argentina and Brazil.
How much electricity did Uruguay export in 2022?
In 2022, exports of electricity represented $222 million which was less than 50 percent of the total amount of electricity exported in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a severe drought which adversely affected the generation in Uruguay.
How many charging stations are there in Uruguay?
In May 2022, there were 89 charging stations and 122 chargers, distributed in most departments of the country. The electric vehicles sold in Uruguay have Type 2 connectors according to UNIT standards (UNIT – IEC 61851-1:2017 and UNIT - 1234:2016).
Will Uruguay become a leading country in the development of E-Fuels?
Due to its highly decarbonized energy sector with strong wind and solar capacity, Uruguay is expected to become a leading country in the region in the development of e-fuels, or synthetic fuels that are produced using renewable energy.
What products can be imported into Uruguay duty free?
