Latin America Green Energy Investments Market

Latin America Green Energy Investments Market Overview:

The Latin America green energy investments market size reached USD 200.0 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 980.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 19.2% during 2025-2033. The growing green energy investments in Latin America, increasing technological advancements and economies of scale, and rising foreign direct investment (FDI) and multinational involvement are some of the factors positively impacting the Latin America green energy investment market share.

Latin America Green Energy Investments Market Trends:

Declining Costs of Renewable Energy Technologies

Technological advancements and economies of scale are significantly reducing the costs of renewable energy technologies, which is creating a positive Latin America green energy investments market outlook. Apart from this, the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and wind turbines is decreasing, which is encouraging both private and public sector investments in the region. According to industry reports, the price of solar PV panels has decreased by 40% in Brazil. This further increased the confidence of Brazilians and the attractiveness of installing solar panels on rooftops. Moreover, reducing costs is making it easier for Latin American nations to accelerate their transition to green energy while attracting international investors who are increasingly interested in cost-effective, scalable renewable projects in the region. In 2024, Brenntag, the industry leader in the distribution of chemicals and ingredients worldwide, inaugurated a solar park at its site in Queretaro, Mexico. This project emerges as Brenntag's largest solar park in Latin America and one of the ten largest globally.

Government Policies and Renewable Energy Targets

Increasing green energy investments in Latin America are primarily driven by government policies and ambitious renewable energy targets across the region. Several Latin American countries are enacting legislation aimed at driving the adoption of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower, to meet national energy needs and climate commitments. Various renewable projects are made possible through favorable policy environments, which include subsidies for renewable energy development and public-private partnerships that support infrastructure expansion. According to a 2024 report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy investments in Latin America and the Caribbean are anticipated to reach USD 185 Billion in 2024. Nearly half of the 33 Latin American and Caribbean nations, including Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, and Colombia have committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Furthermore, the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (ABSOLAR) estimates that as of February 2024, Brazil's installed solar power will amount 38.4 GW, or almost 17.0% of the nation's electrical supply.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Multinational Involvement

The adoption of green energy in Latin America is greatly aided by foreign direct investment (FDI), as international financial institutions and multinational corporations supply vital funding for large-scale renewable projects. This is driving the Latin America green energy investments market growth. In recent years, there has been a rise in FDI directed toward the renewable energy sector in countries such as Colombia, Peru, and Uruguay, where political stability and favorable investment climates have attracted global players. Renewable Energy Association SER Colombia, in 2024, announced that up to USD 2.2 Billion could be invested in Colombia's renewable energy sector, spread across 66 projects that are either awaiting final paperwork or about to go into production. Additionally, international energy companies are expanding their portfolios in the region, driven by favorable regulations, stable returns, and Latin America's high renewable energy potential. The involvement of multinational corporations and financial institutions not only brings the necessary capital but also introduces technical expertise and innovative business models.
