Infraestructura de la Calidad para Programas de Eficiencia Energética en América Latina y El Caribe

2019. The study describes the importance of energy policy in the context of climate change. It lists the key elements necessary for the conformity assessment and explains the relevance of these elements in the context of energy efficiency programs. It summarizes the experiences of cooperation among the various actors in the region and describes some practical examples of implementation in LAC countries. It is expected that this study becomes a reference that contributes to promoting the consolidation of the Quality Infrastructure and facilitates a greater coordination and integration on the subject among the countries of the region (avaliable only in Spanish).

Energy Barometer in Latin America and the Caribbean 2018

Energy planning must consider processes that include a wide range of perspectives generated by the different market players, since these expectations are what will condition future decision-making at the sector level, and that will allow them to articulate them with social, environmental and economic. OLACDE has developed the Latin American and the Caribbean Energy Barometer, […]

MRV Methodology For Energy Efficiency Implementation Measures In Commercial And Public Buildings For Countries Of The Caribbean Region

2018. The document offers a proposal of MRV (Measurement-Report-Verification) oriented to the application of efficiency measures for public and commercial buildings in the Caribbean. MRV is a fairly new concept, so it is recommended to adopt a two-stage approach to implement MRV. The first stage includes the domestic activities to be implemented. Then the MRV […]

Energy Policy And Ndcs In Latin America And The Caribbean

2018.This study analyzes the effectiveness of current energy development policies in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), as a contribution to achieving the goals set out in the NDCs, on reducing GHG emissions by 2030; and if necessary, more ambitious energy efficiency measures and penetration of renewable energy sources are proposed, which […]

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.
