Latin America poised to become renewable energy giant

Report found that with upcoming large-scale clean-electricity projects in the next seven years Latin America is poised to become a major renewable energy producer.
Latin America is poised to become a major renewable energy producer, with nearly a billion solar panels' worth of large-scale clean-electricity projects slated to come online in the next seven years, a report found Thursday.
In welcome good news for the climate-change race, researchers said Latin American countries had more than 319 gigawatts of utility-scale solar- and wind-power projects due to be launched by 2030 – equal to nearly 70 percent of the region's total current electrical capacity from all sources combined.
"Rich in wind and solar resources, Latin America has the potential to be a global leader for renewable energy," said the report by the Global Energy Monitor (GEM), a US-based non-profit that tracks clean-energy development.
The new projects – which include planned installations and those already under construction – would expand Latin America's current utility-scale solar- and wind-power capacity by more than 460 percent, it found.
