En 2022, las fuentes renovables superaron el 90% de la matriz de generación eléctrica
The preliminary energy balance for 2022 reveals a significant shift toward renewable energy sources, which accounted for 91% of the electricity generation matrix. This transition was driven by increased hydropower generation and a notable decrease in fossil fuel consumption, despite a general reduction in total electricity production and a sharp decline in energy exports. These figures highlight an evolving energy landscape where environmental considerations increasingly influence production methods. Concurrently, final electricity consumption grew by 2%, aligning with broader economic expansion and favorable weather conditions. However, the carbon emission factor, while improved by 30% compared to the previous year, remains among the highest in recent history. This indicates that while the grid is becoming cleaner, substantial challenges persist in reducing the intensity of emissions per unit of energy delivered to the national interconnected system. This data is highly relevant to open data initiatives, as it demonstrates the value of transparent, accessible government statistics for tracking national progress. By publishing preliminary balances with historical comparability, authorities enable researchers and citizens to monitor sustainability goals and analyze energy security trends. This openness fosters informed public debate and supports evidence-based policy-making regarding the transition to a low-carbon economy.
