The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) welcomed at its headquarters in Quito a visit from Manuel Otero, Director General of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), along with his management team.
During the meeting, strategic issues for the region were addressed, including:
• Water resource management: a priority challenge for ensuring energy security and the sustainability of productive systems.
• Energy impact of artificial intelligence: its growing adoption in the global economy demands resilient infrastructure and regulatory frameworks adapted to increasing electricity demand.
• Opportunities in biofuels: their development opens new possibilities for diversifying the energy matrix and advancing toward a low-carbon transition, with benefits for regional agriculture and industry.
This meeting strengthens cooperation between OLACDE and IICA, consolidating a shared commitment to driving joint solutions that integrate energy sustainability, technological innovation, and the well-being of communities across Latin America and the Caribbean.
