Award Ceremony for the OLACDE Energy Excellence Award 2024

With the presence of national and international authorities, the award ceremony for the OLACDE Energy Excellence Award 2024 will take place next Tuesday, October 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the Aula Magna of the Central Bank Institute of Paraguay. This event will be held as part of the IX OLACDE Energy Week.

This is the first edition of this award, organized by The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), which seeks to bring together and showcase the best energy projects from Latin America and the Caribbean in the areas of energy efficiency, decarbonization, and renewable energies. In this edition, 71 applications were received from 14 countries, which can be viewed at the following link: https://www.OLACDE.org/noticias/premio-OLACDE-a-la-excelencia-energetica-postulaciones-abiertas/

The objective of the award is to promote and highlight activities that contribute to sustainable development, energy efficiency, and decarbonization processes at both local and regional levels. Projects from public institutions, universities, communities, and private companies participated.

The award seeks to recognize projects that contribute to improving people’s quality of life, reducing business costs, facilitating or expanding access to energy resources for those who still lack them, and reducing carbon emissions in the energy sector.

During the ceremony, all applications will be presented, and mentions and winners in each category will be announced.

All information related to this edition of the OLACDE Energy Excellence Award 2024 is available on the website www.OLACDE.org. After the ceremony, the recognitions will be published there.

For those who cannot attend the ceremony in person, it will be streamed on the YouTube platform at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/live/Qg3pfvi3q8s

Award Ceremony for the OLACDE Energy Excellence Award 2024

Newsletter summary

With the presence of national and international authorities, the award ceremony for the OLACDE Energy Excellence Award 2024 will take place next Tuesday, October 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the Aula Magna of the Central Bank Institute of Paraguay.

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.
