In 2024, the dry reference year, hydro contributed 5,334 GWh (41%), mineral coal 2,720 GWh (21%), petroleum coke 1,656 GWh (13%) and biomass 1,593 GWh (12%), according to Guate en Datos using AMM data; these figures were obtained through search results and have yet to be checked against the AMM 2024 report. Local generation was 13,117.41 GWh and demand 13,496.29 GWh (AMM). According to MEM, 2024 recorded the highest peak average spot price since 1999: drought and high temperatures called on the most expensive plants.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
