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. This marks a trend of continued year-on-year growth in a country that, just a decade earlier, generated almost no electricity from solar. Chile's growth has been faster than that of other solar champions like Spain and Australia, where the adoption of these technologies started earlier. Much of Chile's solar energy is captured in the Atacama Desert. This region, in Northern Chile, receives the highest level of sunlight exposure in the world and is home to Latin America’s first solar thermal plant.
