  • Description: Renewable electricity generation is vital to sustainable development, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean. These regions lack supranational policies to address climate change, resulting in alarming differences in energy strategies among countries. To compare electricity generation sustainably, a cluster analysis is performed using 20 indicators and 2019-2020 data. The analysis identifies seven groups of countries with similarities in their use of renewable resources, electricity generation, and consumption. This study emphasizes the importance of renewable energy sources in meeting environmental policies and sustainable development goals, while also highlighting the need for coordinated regional policies to address climate change
