The market in South and Central America
The demand for hydropower development in South America has significantly grown over recent years. In certain countries half of the total electricity supply is provided by hydropower making it the region’s largest renewable source. The technically feasible hydropower potential is about 2,859,200 GWh annually and offers many opportunities for large new installations but also for modernization and upgrade, which is a priority plant and grid operators.
The energy transmission to carbon-free emissions is resulting in a need for pumped storage to balance the intermittent renewable energy resources like wind and solar, creates new demand for Synchronous Condensers for grid stability and system strength, and is opening up interesting investments for innovative developments such as hybrid solutions.
