Brazil currently represents 43% of the primary energy supply in Central and South America (285 Mtoe) and 45% of electricity generation on the continent (593 TWh). The document, produced by CEBRI’s Energy Program together with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), through the Regional Program “Energy Security and Climate Change in Latin America” (EKLA), highlights that energy integration must represent complementarity and not dependence. The opportunities for greater integration are in the electricity sector and limited to border regions, and exist in view of the potential gains in flexibility and energy security.
