generated all of its electricity from hydro, wind, bioenergy and
solar, according to data collated by Ember.

How do they handle days when the wind doesn't blow? Do they have such an excess from hydro that it alone can power the country?
I does help to live in south america, that is great for solar! Over time, I would expect house owners to install local solar and that figure to at least double, and also off loading the rest of the grid.
