在过去二十年中，拉丁美洲/加勒比海地区越来越依赖电力来满足日益增长的能源需求。水电是满足这一需求的主要来源。1971年至1989年间，水力发电量以年均近9%的速度增长。目前，水电提供的电力占拉丁美洲和加勒比地区总发电量的三分之二以上。用于发电的唯一另一种主要能源是化石燃料。在这一地区，有几种趋势正在发展。这些问题包括：开发更多小型水电设施、共享水资源的机会、改变用水监管方法的兴趣以及私营部门更多参与的可能性。总体而言，水电似乎在拉丁美洲/加勒比地区的电力行业具有有利的竞争地位。
In the last two decades, the Latin America/Carribean region has become increasingly dependent on electricity to meet growing demands for energy. Hydropower is the prevailing source for meeting this need. Hydroelectric generation increased at an annual average rate of nearly 9% between 1971 and 1989. HYdro now provides more than two-thirds of total electric power generated in Latin America and the Caribbean. The only other predominant source used for electric generation is fossil fuels. In this region there are several trends developing. They include: developing more small hydro facilities, opportunities for sharing water resources, an interest in changing the approach to water use regulation, and possibilities for more participation by the private sector. Overall, hydro appears to have a favorable competitive position in the power industry in the Latin America/Caribbean region.
