In recent years, the Latin American (LatAm) renewables space has emerged as an exciting investment market. The region benefits from vast wind and solar resources, as well as significant market expansion potential into less developed areas that currently lack access to electricity. Furthermore, the geography's relatively lower energy demands help position it as a net energy exporter, assuming its full potential is realized. Since 2017, LatAm has held an 8% share of the global deal volume for renewable generating assets, totaling $22.4 billion, with the total acquisition value increasing by more than 3X year on year to $4.5 billion in 2021. Corporate transactions for wind and solar assets in Chile and Brazil fueled the growth, as the two countries have proven to be the region's dominant markets for clean energy growth.
