Venezuela has 14 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 7 tracked facilities, ranking #161 of 222 countries in this atlas.

Solar dominates: 100% of the operating capacity (14 MW) comes from solar parks, against 0 MW of wind.

The pipeline is substantial: 53 MW under construction and 53 MW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 757% of today’s operating fleet.

About 14 MW (100%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2025, with 14 MW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in Portuguesa State (11 MW), Guarico State (2 MW), Barinas State (1 MW).
