9 Business Ideas to Scale in Latin America’s Energy Transition
Latin America is no longer the energy of tomorrow. It’s the frontier of today.
In a region where sunshine floods the rooftops, wind races down the coasts, and cities strain under the pressure of congestion and outdated grids, a massive clean energy transition is underway — and with it, a wave of business opportunities for those bold enough to act.
Clean Break: 9 High-Potential Business Ideas for Latin America’s Energy and Mobility Revolution is your go-to guide to start building, financing, or investing in ventures that shape the region’s future. Whether you're a climate tech founder, a VC firm exploring emerging markets, or an entrepreneur seeking your next big idea, this book shows you exactly where innovation meets impact.
You’ll uncover:
- How small-scale solar can electrify entire communities and SMEs using smart financing models.
- Why the modernization of hydropower could become Latin America’s best-kept billion-dollar secret.
- Where frontier clean energies like geothermal and offshore wind are quietly creating new industries.
