South Americaalone needs around USD 500 billion of investment in projects and expenditure in goods for end-use applications each year over that period, if it is to achieve that goal.Yet, despite this high cost, Under the DES, by 2050, the energy transition is expected to create more than 12 million jobs in theSouth American energy sector. In addition, the region is expected to improve its gross domesticproduct (GDP) by an additional 1.1% on average each year over the 2023-2050 period, comparedto the Planned Energy Scenario (PES) – the International Renewable Energy Agency's primary The energy transition also offers opportunities to strengthen and diversify local supply chains acrossSouth America. This would enable regional countries to capture more value-added from domesticmanufacturing and from the local provision of services. These services would be in areas such as While employment in oil and gas production declines, new jobs in transition-related sectors, suchas renewable energy, energy efficiency, grids and grid-
