¿Qué significa cumplir con las metas globales de triplicar renovables y duplicar eficiencia energética en América Latina?

The document uses EnergyScope modeling to evaluate how four Latin American countries can align with COP 28 global energy targets. It concludes that a literal tripling of capacity is not necessary for all countries to meet projected demand and that combining renewable expansion with doubled energy efficiency can reduce the required installed capacity.

• A literal tripling of renewable energy capacity is not necessary for every country to contribute to the global goal, as it would in some cases exceed projected electricity demand by 2030.
• In Colombia, a 'sustainable progression' scenario could increase the share of renewables to 80% by 2030, with installed capacity increasing 1.64 times compared to 2022, or 12.35 times if hydroelectric power is excluded.
• Argentina could reach a renewable share of approximately 51% in its electricity matrix by leveraging onshore wind and large-scale solar power to displace fossil fuels.
• Brazil could increase its renewable installed capacity from 85.8% to 96% by 2030, utilizing large-scale and distributed solar as well as wind energy.
• Chile is projected to reach 96% renewable generation in its electricity matrix by 2030, requiring an increase of 27.2 GW in installed capacity through solar, wind, thermal, and geothermal sources.
• Doubling the annual rate of energy efficiency improvements (from 2% to 4% in most cases) results in measurable savings in required installed generation capacity across all four countries by 2030: 0.87 GW in Colombia, 0.94 GW in Argentina, 11.08 GW in Brazil, and 3.92 GW in Chile.
• The study identifies a regional lag in energy efficiency progress compared to renewable energy development, noting a lack of specific goals, solid regulatory frameworks, and dedicated implementation agencies.
• The transition to renewables in the region could increase energy sector employment by 15% by 2030, potentially reaching 4 million jobs in the renewable sector.
