Fossil fuels dominate Argentina''s electricity mix, making up 59% of its electricity generation in 2023. Its per capita emissions are below the global average. Argentina''s largest source of clean electricity is hydro (22%). However, over the last five years, the share of wind and solar has increased, standing at 12% in 2023.
Currently in Argentina, electricity generation is divided between low-carbon and fossil sources, with low-carbon sources slightly leading. From August 2023 to July 2024, clean energy sources, such as hydropower, wind, nuclear, solar, and biofuels, made up slightly more than half of the electricity generation in the country, approximately 51%.. Hydropower is the most significant

century (REN21)4, total renewable power capacity doubled in the decade 2007-2017, and the capacity of non-hydropower renewables (i.e. bioenergy or wind, solar, and geothermal energy, among other sources) increased more than six-fold. 1 "Evolución de las Energías Renovables en Argentina", KPMG in Argentina, March 2018.
More than a quarter of the electricity generated in Argentina comes from renewables. The government launched a program in 2015 to promote the use of renewable energy in electricity generation, including a trust fund providing financial guarantees and ince which will be increasingly important as variable renewables like solar and wind make
Wind and solar rose to supply almost a tenth of global electricity. Wind and solar generation rose robustly in 2020 by 15% (+314 TWh). This meant that wind and solar produced almost a tenth (9.4%) of the world''s electricity last year, doubling from 4.6% in 2015. Data sources for Argentina, Canada, Ecuador,
