And look at Guatemala: https://www.electricitymap.org/?page=country&countryCode=GT

46% biomass! More than hydro, wind or anything else. This should be a role model.

What kind of biomass though? If they are just burning wood, then I guess it's better than direct deforestation by fire, but unless they replant those trees, it isn't long-term sustainable either.

Proper biogas. Mostly from their sugar mills, the biggest in central america.
