Find the most relevant information on the energy sector of the OLACDE Member Countries in the Latin American and the Caribbean Energy Outlook 2019

The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) makes available to the energy community the publication: Latin American and the Caribbean Energy Outlook 2019, which presents the most relevant information on the energy sector of the Organization’s Member Countries, as well as information added to subregional and regional level for Latin America and the Caribbean.

This publication shows time series charts, energy supply and demand data, installed capacity, power generation, economic, socioeconomic and environmental indicators and information, as well as Sankey diagrams of the energy matrix.

For the second consecutive year this document presents a comparative analysis of prospective studies conducted by different agencies for the 2017-2040 period; disaggregated for periods of 5 years, both globally, subregionally and regionally, whose results have been harmonized by OLACDE, through common variables that allow forecasting and comparing the analyzes of the future situation of the energy sector.

In the case of Latin America and the Caribbean, the document presents the projections made by OLACDE where he considers two scenarios (Current Policy Scenario -EPA- and the High Gasification Scenario -EGA-), using the “Model for Simulation and Analysis of the Energy Matrix (SAME) ”developed by OLACDE.

A chapter is also presented on the most relevant events of the energy sector in different areas and on “Legislation, regulation and energy policy” where the most recent changes in each country in this area are detailed.

From OLACDE we hope that the 2019 Energy Panorama constitutes a document that contributes to the knowledge of the energy sector and is a benchmark of energy information for the countries of the region.

Capacity building & knowledge

We advance high-level technical training programs that foster experience-sharing and develop the human and institutional capacities required to drive energy transformations across our region.

Our academic programs offer executive courses, postgraduate diplomas, master’s degrees, and innovative initiatives focused on key areas such as the energy transition, conventional and renewable energy, electromobility, and regional integration.

OLACDE builds a regional network of energy expertise, connecting governments, young professionals, academics, and industry experts to foster collaborative solutions through technical cooperation and talent development to address future energy and climate challenges.

Technical cooperation & climate finance

We strengthen South-South and triangular cooperation as key drivers to accelerate energy transitions across Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE unites efforts among governments, multilateral organizations, academic institutions, and the private sector to mobilize financing, technical expertise, and innovative solutions tailored to our regional context.

We advance strategic initiatives aimed at directing resources toward decarbonization, conventional energy, renewables, and energy justice projects—building a more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable regional cooperation architecture.

Regional energy community

We are building a regional energy community with a global outlook, positioning Latin America and the Caribbean as a pivotal player on the international stage. OLACDE amplifies regional representation in key multilateral energy, trade, and climate forums by fostering strategic alliances and international cooperation.

Through flagship events such as Energy Week and new spaces for high-level dialogue, we champion a collective voice that attracts investment, drives technical partnerships, and unlocks sustainable development opportunities across our region

Energy transition & strategic projects

We foster a regional energy transition built on sustainability, energy security, and social inclusion. OLACDE supports Member Countries in adopting emerging technologies—such as energy efficiency, storage solutions, green hydrogen, electromobility, and grid digitalization—to accelerate the sector’s decarbonization.

Our approach promotes strategic projects that strengthen energy resilience across Latin America and the Caribbean, reducing emissions while building a cleaner, more competitive energy infrastructure. Key regional initiatives, including OEMLAC, position our region as a benchmark for climate innovation and sustainable energy development.

Energy information and data

We develop regional platforms dedicated to energy intelligence, technical analysis, and strategic data systems that empower both public and private decision-making across the sector. OLACDE drives digital transformation in energy by leveraging artificial intelligence, georeferencing, and advanced analytical tools to map regional energy trends.

The integration of systems such as SieLAC, along with new regional digital platforms, consolidates reliable, up-to-date technical data—enabling modern, interoperable, and evidence-based energy planning.

Regional energy integration

We foster cooperation across the regional energy sector by prioritizing infrastructure development, cross-border collaboration, and regulatory alignment to enhance energy security in Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE coordinates strategic projects in power grid interconnections, natural gas integration, and joint energy planning to build resilient, sustainable partnerships.

Working alongside the governments of our 27 Member States, regional blocs, multilateral institutions, and key public and private stakeholders, we drive initiatives that introduce innovative energy exchange mechanisms, strengthen national capacities, and accelerate a unified regional energy transition.
