Regulation and Energy Transition: A Key Dialogue for the Region

The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) took part in the XXVI Oil & Power 2025 Expo Conference, one of the most relevant gatherings of the regional energy sector. The event serves as a strategic platform for connecting with industry leaders, showcasing innovations, and strengthening collaborative networks in a technical and specialized environment.

The event brings together the main players in the oil, energy, and renewable energy sectors, offering exhibitors and attendees the opportunity to position their initiatives, forge key alliances, and access high-level networking spaces. Throughout the event, emerging trends, new technologies, and analyses on the region’s energy future were presented.

Representing OLACDE, Fitzgerald Cantero, Director of Studies, Projects, and Information, took part in the panel “New regulations for renewable energy and possibilities for energy transition.” During his remarks, he emphasized that regulatory frameworks are fundamental to accelerating the integration of clean technologies and to guiding the transformation of electricity systems toward more sustainable, resilient, and efficient models.
He also underscored the growing importance of batteries and other energy storage solutions, essential for improving the stability of electricity systems and enabling greater participation of renewable energy in the regional matrix. He emphasized that modern, flexible regulations are key to driving their incorporation into countries’ energy planning.

As part of the Conference, OLACDE also participated with an institutional booth, where the Organization’s regional programs, projects, and training initiatives were showcased. The space also featured the interactive activity “OLACDE Energy Challenge,” which allowed visitors to learn more about energy integration, regional projects, and the sustainable future the Organization promotes together with its member countries.

OLACDE reaffirms its commitment to technical dialogue, capacity building, and the construction of a just and inclusive energy transition for Latin America and the Caribbean.

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.
