His vision for Uruguay's energy future was to cover that empty land with hundreds of wind turbines. Today, wind power accounts for around 40% of Uruguay's energy production. And, according to a 2008 law, all the wind in the country officially belongs to the Uruguayan people.
Uruguay's energy grid was powered almost exclusively by domestically created, renewable energy, and, adjusted for inflation, consumer prices had gone down. Today, there are more than 700 wind turbines installed across Uruguay's countryside. "It was absolutely a complete transformation," says Méndez Galain.
Still, Uruguay faces the same challenges in Energy Security as the rest of the world: addressing system reliability as renewable energy integration grows to ensure a resilient transition. This will require investments in energy storage, grid modernization, and smart technologies.
Green hydrogen production could strengthen Uruguay’s Environmental Sustainability and Energy Security scores by diversifying energy generation and enabling large-scale energy storage. This initiative supports domestic emission reduction goals and allows Uruguay to contribute to global decarbonization commitments.
Uruguay’s green hydrogen strategy could be a game-changer in this area: it offers storage solutions, further integrates renewables into the energy matrix, and positions Uruguay as a renewable energy exporter (not only solar and wind, but also biogenic CO2 availability would enable it to export PtX products as well).
Incorporating new, local, and renewable sources into its electricity matrix transformed Uruguay from a net importer to a net exporter of electricity, positively impacting the country's energy independence and resolving historical supply issues.
