Chile produced 9.4% of its primary energy from solar in 2023 — the highest in any country that year
According to the Energy Institute’s Statistical Review of World Energy, in 2023, Chile produced 9.4% of its primary energy from solar sources, the highest share in any country. When we look at electricity alone, solar produced 20% of the total.
What happened in Spain at the end of the 2010s? Did they accidentally build a nuclear reactor?
Curious about this as well
These numbers seem really small compared to all the headlines I’ve seen over the years. I expected Chile to be closer to 99% if it’s the leading country in solar power.
Ole ole ole oley
Way to go Chile!
I misread the title and thought it said 9.4% of its energy from renewables not just solar. Way to go Chile!
First time I heard this.
