How to deal with volatility in hydrocarbon prices

OLACDE’s discussion gathered contributions from authorities, think tanks and private stakeholders in the energy sector
The impact of the current volatility in hydrocarbon prices and possible mitigation measures at regional level were the main topics of a dialogue held by The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE).

OLACDE implements a data entry center to process data for the Useful Energy Balance project

The project “Elaboration of the Energy Balance in Terms of Useful Energy for the Industrial, Residential, Transport and/or Commercial Sectors (BEU, for its Spanish acronym)”, which is being developed in Ecuador, Panama and Paraguay, is progressing in its execution. A few days ago, a data entry center was installed to process the surveys collected in these three countries.

The Caribbean community now has an Energy Information System – sieCARICOM

This announcement was made on the morning of March 21, during the Conference on Energy Statistics for CARICOM Member States, which took place in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Energy Policy Leaders from 21 Latin American and Caribbean Countries Gather for Virtual Workshop on Energy Systems for a Decarbonized Future

Energy policy leaders from 21 Latin American and Caribbean countries participated in a virtual workshop Tuesday and Wednesday (January 25-26) focusing on energy policy options aimed at decarbonization and sustainable development for all. The workshop was co-hosted by OLACDE (Organización Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Energía), Enel Foundation, and the Harvard Environmental Economics Program.

In its closing stage, the PALCEE Program consolidated the development of energy efficiency in OLACDE’s Member Countries

Newsletter summary

The Program for Latin America and the Caribbean on Energy Efficiency – PALCEE, executed by The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) with the financial support of the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), has concluded. The program was implemented since December 2018.

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.
