    Reshaping Latin American Power Markets: Cheaper & cleaner
    Power & Renewables

    The growing trend toward power mix diversification has created opportunities to unleash the potential of renewables and gas-fired generation in Latin America. Power auctions and corporate power purchase agreements have set the foundation for competitive prices, especially for renewables that capitalized on global cost reductions and efficiency gains to leverage world-class natural resources across the region. The fierce competition in the market and the introduction of new business models will continue to push the power sector toward a greener and cheaper energy mix, but challenges remain. How will the region combine the growing role of intermittent resources, which include the impacts of climate change on hydropower, with the need for additional flexibility and stability?

    How Renewables Fare in Competitive Markets
    Power & Renewables Upstream Oil & Gas
    Thanks to strong decreases, the LCOE of utility-scale renewables is now lower than the wholesale price in several countries globally. In some cases, this has prompted several developers to develop merchant projects, which represents a major shift from past investment models. Instead of relying on government support, merchant assets rely on wholesale or PPA revenues to recover their costs. Where are we seeing merchant RES projects today? What is their business model? Where could merchant RES opportunities arise in the future? What are the risks faced by such assets, notably self-cannibalization of revenues and value loss in case of renewable surplus? What does it mean for their financing?
