Renewable energy in Chile
 | This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/chile/. (October 2024) |
Renewable energy in Chile is classified as Conventional and Non Conventional Renewable Energy (NCRE),[1] and includes biomass, hydro-power, geothermal, wind and solar among other energy sources. Usually, when referring to Renewable Energy in Chile, it will be the Non Conventional kind.
Chile has considerable geothermal, solar and wind energy resources while fossil fuel resources are limited.[2] Chile has been described as "a world leader in renewable energy development."[3] In 2016 Non Conventional Renewable Energy provided 7,794 GWh, or 11.4% of the country's total electricity generation.[4] NCRE accounted for 17.2% of the installed electricity generation capacity by the end of 2016.[4]
On 2022, for the first time solar and wind energy generated more power than coal-based energy (27.5% vs. 26.5%). [5]
