The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) participated in the Future Energy Summit (FES) Colombia 2025, one of the region’s leading energy sector events.
OLACDE’s Chief of Staff, Mijal Brady, opened the panel “Government Plans: Tenders and Incentives to Consolidate the Growth of the Renewable Sector in Latin America,” highlighting the region’s leadership in clean energy and the need to move forward with an inclusive and balanced approach.
“Latin America and the Caribbean has the cleanest energy mix in the world. But advancing decarbonization requires addressing diverse national contexts, without compromising supply security or economic competitiveness,” said Brady.
As part of the event, Brady also took part in the exclusive networking breakfast at FES Colombia 2025, where senior sector officials discussed the benefits and challenges of shared electricity grids. During this session, the start of talks toward a continental agreement to unify standards and promote energy integration was announced.
During the conversation, authorities from Guatemala, Honduras and the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) agreed that the region must move toward interconnected electricity infrastructure capable of guaranteeing supply security, more competitive prices and operational efficiency.
They also acknowledged that technical, regulatory and political challenges remain that require priority attention.
“We brought statements to the ministers’ meeting that we consider a priority, one of them being to begin discussions, assessments and negotiations toward a regional integration treaty,” said OLACDE’s Chief of Staff, Mijal Brady.
