Join the IX Energy Week of The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) and be part of the Energy Transformation of Latin America and the Caribbean

The global landscape is marked by profound ongoing technological innovations. The development of new energy sources, the production of next-generation fuels, the application of artificial intelligence in the sector, and new storage technologies are all major global challenges in the sector.

On the other hand, there are unavoidable regulatory challenges that must be urgently addressed in areas such as the design of new energy markets, fair and equitable energy transitions, and gender equity in the energy sector, which should also be a priority.

All these topics and more will be thoroughly discussed at OLACDE’s IX Energy Week, which will take place in the city of Asunción from October 28 to November 1, 2024. This event has become the most important in Latin America and the Caribbean, bringing together all regional energy sector stakeholders—governments, companies, civil society, academia, and international agencies—in a space for the exchange of experiences and knowledge, a central aspect of sector management in a context of profound changes.

The Energy Week is organized by the Latin American Energy Organization (OLACDE) in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Works and Communications of Paraguay, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). the World Bank and the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF)

During this Week, representatives from OLACDE’s 27 member countries will be present, as well as key players from the regional and global energy sector.

Additionally, the Meeting of OLACDE Energy Ministers will take place, featuring both a Ministerial Political Dialogue and a meeting with the OLACDE Business Committee. This important forum for exchange and collaboration will allow the consolidation of a diagnosis and an agenda for the energy transitions of Latin America and the Caribbean.

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.
