The regions renewable energy sources are wind, biomass and solar. However, Latin American countries still need to overcome several geopolitical obstacles to fulfill their real potential.
For instance, electric power transmission grids require international cooperation and massive public-private investments, but such long-term commitments have proved difficult in the region. Additionally, Latin American countries are sometimes cautious about accepting foreign investments in energy due to national security issues.
Therefore, if stakeholders are to promote clean energy in Latin American countries, how should they proceed? The present study aims at answering these questions, helping policy-makers, firms, and governments to understand how the Latin American elites perceive the geopolitics of renewable energies in the region.
