OLACDE Drives Sustainable Energy Development in LAC Through 2025 Training Program

The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) presents its 2025 Training Program to promote a sustainable energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean, which will be developed through its Energy Training Platform for Latin America and the Caribbean (CapevLAC). This initiative aims to strengthen technical capacities in both the public and private sectors of the region’s energy industry.

The program covers various crucial topics for the region’s energy development across five strategic lines:

Policies, Gender, and Energy, where challenges and opportunities in the energy sector will be explored, focusing on investment attraction, access to financing, and energy planning. Additionally, the integration of a gender perspective in energy policies will be addressed, promoting fair and equitable access to energy.

Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, which will address the main challenges and opportunities in the energy transition towards sustainable development, with a comprehensive approach that includes energy efficiency, industrial and transport decarbonization. Key social aspects, energy access gaps, and the promotion of local value chains will also be explored.

Energy Technologies and Solutions, where we will explore the latest innovations in the energy sector, covering key technologies such as renewable energy, energy storage, geothermal energy, and nuclear power. Solutions for the circular economy and sector digitalization will also be analyzed, along with the use of clean and next-generation fuels such as low-emission hydrogen, SAF, biodiesel, and green diesel. Finally, the impact of information technologies and big data on the sector will be addressed.

Critical Natural Resources and Sustainability, offering training in key areas such as natural gas, fossil fuels, and critical minerals, addressing their extraction, transformation, and decarbonization processes. Associated emissions will be analyzed alongside strategies for mitigating environmental impacts and reducing emissions in oil and gas projects.

Regional Energy Integration, where we will address the challenges and opportunities in regional energy integration, electrical interconnection, and gas pipeline infrastructure. Key topics such as regulatory harmonization, energy exports in Latin America and the Caribbean, and fostering common energy agendas among countries to promote greater cooperation and efficiency in interconnected energy systems will be explored.

The courses will be offered in various modalities through OLACDE’s platform, including asynchronous courses (e-learning), synchronous courses (virtual and hybrid), webinars, workshops, diploma programs, and more, ensuring accessibility for participants across all countries in the region.

Participants who meet the program’s requirements in the different modalities will qualify to receive the relevant certifications.

All courses are open and free of charge for participants.

We INVITE the entire regional energy sector community to join CapevLAC, with the goal of building strong technical teams in the industry while developing an engaging network of professionals across the region.

OLACDE Drives Sustainable Energy Development in LAC Through 2025 Training Program

Newsletter summary

OLACDE presents its 2025 Training Program to promote a sustainable energy transition in LAC.

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.
