The clearest point to anchor on is this: Uruguay now gets 9,8% of its electricity grid from low-carbon sources.

Claim 1: “Uruguay now gets 9,8% of its electricity grid from low-carbon sources.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
A web search result explicitly states Uruguay generates 98% of its electricity from renewable sources, aligning with the claim. While Wikipedia notes historical reliance on thermal plants, this appears to be outdated or contextual, not contradicting the current 98% figure from authoritative energy data.
