The Executive Secretary of the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), Andrés Rebolledo, together with his management team, made a technical visit to the National University of Engineering (UNI) in Peru, where he was received by rector Arturo Talledo Coronado.
The activity is part of the ETRELA project, funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Government, which seeks to improve education and training in renewable energy and energy efficiency in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The project, led by OLACDE together with technical partners such as Renewables Academy (RENAC) and Global Factor, and universities from beneficiary countries, promotes the creation of updated curricular programs, state-of-the-art training centers, and specialized train-the-trainer courses.
Its benefits include: the installation of demonstration equipment with sustainable technology, the provision of specialists to local industry, and the development of quality standards in renewable energy education.
During the tour of UNI’s facilities and the demonstration center that was implemented, the relevance of these initiatives was highlighted for expanding the pool of professionals in the sector and fostering a sustainable and inclusive energy transition in the region.
With this visit, OLACDE reaffirms its commitment to academic and technical cooperation in Latin America and the Caribbean, driving joint solutions that strengthen regional training and capacity development.
