2. On average, electricity access rates in LCR are high but there are large inter-and intra-country differences Figure: National electricity coverage LOW MED HIGH 93 70 99 40 23 67 Average World78 63 93 Average AFR Average LAC N.A

3. Hydro generation in LCR accounts for nearly 60% of power generation Coal and other energy sources account for a small share of power generation in LAC. Hydroelectricity has been the dominant source of electricity for the region but its share has been declining Petroleum use has declined overall but remains significant for some countries and sub-regions Natural gas usage has been growing Generation Mix: Latin America and Caribbean

4. Six countries account for 84 percent of total electricity production in the LAC Region

5. ICEPAC. Technology generation mix Under the "baseline supply scenario" -- which aggregates and extrapolates the current country expansion plans in the Region -- the vast majority of the increase in generating capacity over the coming two decades would be met by hydropower (36 percent) and natural gas (35 percent).
