Analysis of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the energy sector in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The document analyzes the impacts of the pandemic in the Latin American and Caribbean region, which forced the adoption of sanitary protection measures that produced a drastic decrease in economic activity from the decree of the mandatory confinement of people in their homes in the most countries. Thus, the fall in energy demand is analyzed, […]
Analysis of fuel substitution of the river transportation system of the Paraguay – Paraná Waterway
2020. This study’s main objective, within its scope, is to make a first approach to the replacement of bunker fuels used in the Paraguay – Paraná Waterway with more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy alternatives. To do this, replacement options such as natural gas, electricity or hydrogen were evaluated. However, considering the feasibility and current trends, the analysis of the potential substitution by Natural Gas has been deepened. It should be noted that a complete life cycle analysis was not performed to determine the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the use of the fuel alternatives that were evaluated.

How is the Energy Sector in Latin America and The Caribbean? Acting to Face The Covid-19 Pandemic?
2020. The new global scenario that configures the COVID-19 health crisis has forced governments in the region to take emergency measures in various areas. To visualize the current situation in the region, a table developed by ECLAC is used, which summarizes the set of measures taken by LAC countries to contain the spread of the virus and the measures to limit the economic impact of such decisions. In this context, the energy sector has also been affected by the ravages of the health crisis. In order to support the follow-up of the measures taken in the field of energy, OLACDE has prepared this document detailing the main measures that countries have adopted to deal with the ongoing crisis.
Energy Prices In Latin America And The Caribbean. Annual Report April 2020
2020. Through this Report, The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization seeks to analyze the economic importance of the different commercial transactions associated with the use of electricity and fuels in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. In turn, this information seeks to enable the countries of the region to identify opportunities and potentials for energy exchange to benefit their economic and regional scenarios.
Competitive processes for financing renewable energy projects. Situation in Latin America and the Caribbean
2020. Latin America and the Caribbean is a privileged region due to the availability and abundance of natural resources. The use of these resources, especially water, has allowed LAC to be a region with the highest participation of renewable energy sources in electricity generation in the world. The study compiles, synthesizes and exposes the experiences […]
Energy Outlook Of Latin America And The Caribbean 2019
2020. The publication presents relevant information on the energy sector of the OLACDE Member Countries, as well as aggregated information at the subregional and regional levels for LAC. It shows time series graphics, energy supply and demand data, installed capacity, electricity generation, indicators and economic, socioeconomic and environmental information, as well as Sankey diagrams of the energy matrix. It presents a comparative analysis of prospective studies carried out by different organizations for the period 2017-2040, disaggregated by 5-year periods, both at the global, subregional and regional levels, the results of which have been harmonized by the Organization.
Vulnerabilidad al Cambio Climático y Medidas de Adaptación de los Sistemas Hidroeléctrico en los Países Andinos
2019. Water resources are an important source of life for human beings. Among its numerous benefits, they allow the generation of clean electrical energy for a significant percentage of the LAC population. Therefore, it is essential to introduce an innovative methodology in the field of electrical planning that considers the effect of the increase in global temperature for different scenarios of concentration of GHG emissions on water resources. The IDB and OLACDE offer this study that seeks to contribute to the integration of the climate change component in the medium and long-term energy planning processes. (Available only in Spanish)
Barómetro de la Energía en América Latina y El Caribe 2019. Energía Renovable y Eficiencia Energética
2019. Energy efficiency and renewable energy are an opportunity to fight climate change worldwide. In order for these measures to reach a turning point in our countries, it is necessary to know the wide range of perspectives held by market actors in order for the overall vision to facilitate the development of sustainable policies and future decision-making. It is in this context that OLACDE presents the second edition 2019 of the LAC Energy Barometer, in order to make known the opinion of the actors in the energy sector regarding the management of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
