Thanks to the ongoing structural transformation of the power generation mix, by 2017 Uruguay will achieve an absolute emissions reduction of 88% within this subsector compared to the annual average for the period 2005-2009, with a higher consumption. By 2017, emissions from the domestic power generation system will be 17 g CO2/kWh, which accounts for 3% of the global average. This will be achieved with 40% of non-conventional renewable energy sources (mainly wind, but also photovoltaic and biomass waste), in addition to 55% hydropower (estimating an average annual rainfall).
keep power generation CO2 emissions below 20gCO2/kWh
