Analysis
Argentina recorded 105.05 terawatt-hours for primary energy from low-carbon energy in 2025. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.1% on the previous year and up 42.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from low-carbon energy in Argentina peaked at 105.05 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 1.23 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Argentina 33rd out of 80 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
