South America’s Dilemma: Sustainable Development and Renewable Energies – Can Transnational Power Grids Assist in a Solution?

Abstract

The paper assumes the homogeneous socio-cultural environment of Latin America. Thus, the paper excludes only the consideration of Suriname, Guyana, and the French Guiana’s power systems and regulatory frameworks, as its analysis is deemed neither relevant in terms of installed capacity, demand or power output, nor entirely representative of the sociocultural evolution of Latin America.
