During the RENPOWER Andes Investors 2020 the OLACDE Renewable Energies Panorama was socialized

On the morning of March 9, 2020 in the city of Quito-Ecuador, government leaders and personalities related to the energy sector met to learn about the landscape of Renewable Energies in the Andean Region, the regulatory frameworks and projects to be carried out in Ecuador.

The RENPOWER Andes Congress – Conference of Investors in Renewable Energies and Electrical Infrastructure 2020- served as a working table for potential foreign investors, who want to be part of unconventional Renewable Energy projects in the country, since the legal framework is improving for strengthen possible private sector investments.

The Director of Studies, Projects and Information of The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), Andrés Schuschny, participated in the second session on investment opportunities in large and small-scale renewable energy projects – challenges and the future – presenting OLACDE’s Renewable Energies Outlook.

The event consisted of a total of 4 sessions where issues of interest to the energy sector were exposed.

RENPOWER Andes Investors 2020

RENPOWER Andes Investors 2020, was organized with the aim of introducing  to the Andean region, with special attention to Ecuador, the main government officials and stakeholders from the international market.

The Andean region has abundant natural resources to produce electricity from unconventional renewable energy. Most countries have developed policies for a dynamic market open to investors. In 2019, Ecuador announced a series of auctions totaling 500 MW combined in solar, wind, and mini-hydro projects.

Knowledge and Training

We promote advanced technical training programs that facilitate the exchange of experiences, as well as the development of the human and institutional capacities needed to support the energy transformations in our region.

Our academic offering includes executive programs, postgraduate diplomas, master’s degrees, and innovative initiatives focused on topics such as energy transition, conventional energy, renewable energy, e-mobility, and regional integration.

OLACDE creates a regional network focused on energy knowledge that connects governments, young professionals, academics, and sector experts to drive collaborative solutions through technical cooperation and talent development to address future energy and climate challenges.

Technical cooperation and financing

We strengthen South-South and triangular cooperation ties as drivers to accelerate energy transitions in Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE brings together efforts among governments, multilateral organizations, academic institutions, and the private sector to mobilize financing, technical capacities, and innovative solutions tailored to our regional reality.

We promote strategic initiatives aimed at directing resources toward projects focused on decarbonization, conventional energy, renewable energy, and energy justice, with the objective of establishing a more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable regional cooperation architecture.

Regional Energy Community

We are building a regional energy community with a global outlook that seeks to position Latin America and the Caribbean as a key player on the international stage. OLACDE strengthens its representation in major multilateral forums related to energy, trade, and climate by fostering strategic alliances and promoting international cooperation.

Through events such as Energy Week, together with new spaces for international dialogue, we promote a collective voice that helps attract financial investment and create new opportunities for sustainable development across our region.

Energy Transition and Strategic Projects

We drive an energy transition based on principles of sustainability, energy security, and social inclusion. OLACDE supports countries in adopting new technologies related to energy efficiency, energy storage, green hydrogen, electromobility, and grid digitalization to accelerate the sector’s decarbonization process.

Our approach also includes promoting strategic projects that strengthen energy resilience at the regional level, contributing to emission reductions while consolidating a cleaner and more competitive energy infrastructure. Initiatives such as OEMLAC position our region as a leading reference in climate innovation and sustainable energy transition.

Energy information and data

We develop regional platforms dedicated to energy information, technical analysis, and strategic data systems that strengthen both public and private decision-making in the sector. OLACDE promotes the digital transformation of the sector through the use of artificial intelligence, georeferencing, and advanced tools for regional energy analysis.

The integration of systems such as SieLAC, together with new regional platforms, allows for the consolidation of reliable and up-to-date technical information, facilitating modern, interoperable, and evidence-based energy planning.

Regional Energy Integration

We promote cooperation in the regional energy sector, focused on collaboration, infrastructure development, and regulatory harmonization, with the objective of strengthening energy security in Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE coordinates projects related to electrical interconnection, gas integration, and regional energy planning, seeking to create efficient and sustainable partnerships.

Through cooperation with the governments of our 27 member countries, regional blocs, multilateral institutions, and both public and private stakeholders, we drive strategic initiatives that promote regulatory harmonization and new energy exchange mechanisms, in order to enhance national capacities and accelerate an integrated energy transition at the regional level.
