s “Three discussions have been organized between the IDB and OLACDE, the objective of which is to work on regional strategies to promote a sustainable recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean” “In this dialogue, power companies will be the key actors and potential catalysts for the sustainable recovery of Latin America and the Caribbean ”

“For us it was a fundamental element, to have included as part of these panels, approaching leadership from a gender perspective, for which we celebrate that two important companies in the sector are today being led by successful professional women, which shows that we are achieving some progress in gender equality in our region, despite the fact that we still have a lot to do in this regard”. “In Costa Rica we visualize sources of employment through the maintenance and modernization of the plants. We need to increase their useful life. We also highlight the role of digitization in the sector to increase the efficiency and diversification of the service”. “Electricity is vital for a country to prosper. We have to guarantee this service, but the price is also essential “ “Digitization is essential to be able to balance demand and make the electricity system more flexible.” “In Uruguay we will be improving investment in transmission and distribution networks and in everything that has to do with digitization. We plan to invest around US$ 40 million in transmission ”. “Chile today goes hand in hand with the sun and the wind and has all the capacity to become an energy powerhouse. It is also important that we modernize the regulations in the sector ”. “We highlight the role of the prosumer in the transformation of the energy matrix. Decentralization must be accompanied by an adequate regulatory framework”.   Related news: https://bit.ly/2IoGtcx

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.
