Uruguay's new president, Yamandu Orsi, is set to focus on the energy sector as a key driver of economic growth and sustainability during his term. With the country already achieving 100% electrification and boasting a clean energy grid powered by 99% renewable sources, the government plans to further enhance this by investing in additional capacity, particularly in wind and solar energy. The administration is also exploring the potential of low-carbon hydrogen and e-fuel projects as part of the energy transition. One of the major projects in the pipeline is the production of synthetic fuel by HIF Global and ALUR, a venture that could bring in a record investment of $6bn. Additionally, the government is looking into offshore hydrogen production by Ancap, signaling a commitment to exploring innovative clean energy solutions. The administration is also evaluating the future of offshore exploration blocks and the construction of gas pipelines to bolster regional energy infrastructure. With a positive sentiment towards energy transition and sustainable development, Uruguay under President Orsi is poised to continue its leadership in renewable energy and clean fuel production.
