While the United States is concentrating on megaprojects, Latin America is advancing rapidly, catching up with the big players with new all-time highs.
In the United States, there are 51 projects with a capacity exceeding 200 MW, representing 33% of the total installed capacity. Manatee Solar Energy (of Florida Power & Light) leads the list with 409 MW.
In Latin America, the scenario is emerging but with a clear direction. Although for now only Atlas Renewable Energy's Del Desierto project reaches 200 MW, there are already larger projects in the planning phase, such as BESS Pueblo Hundido (405 MW), which reaffirms the region's potential.
What's next? By 2026, we expect double-digit growth in the historical capacity of many countries in the region. This dynamism will be driven primarily by:
1) The accumulated expertise of the local industry
2) Advances in the regulatory framework this year (and in the coming years)
