South America onshore wind outlook: growth to slow by 2034
- Category: Industry News
Onshore wind capacity in South America is expected to reach 83 GW by 2034, growing at an average annual rate of 6.5%, according to Wood Mackenzie. The top three markets—Brazil, Chile and Argentina—account for 84% of the region’s 39 GW outlook. While mature markets see continued growth through corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs), less developed countries remain reliant on government tenders. Grid constraints and rising curtailment remain key regional challenges.
