The enerLAC Journal continues adding academic recognition credits

On this opportunity, the Energy Journal of Latin America and the Caribbean (enerLAC), an institutional publication of The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), in cooperation with the Association of Universities of the Montevideo Group (AUGM), has been indexed in the Ibero-American Network of Innovation and Scientific Knowledge (REDIB), which is an initiative promoted by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the most important network of university cooperation in Ibero-America – UNIVERSIA.

To achieve this merit, the enerLAC Journal has undergone evaluation processes that attest to its quality. REDIB’s evaluation criteria are aimed at: guaranteeing the scientific nature of the journals in electronic format, and providing assistance and guidance to publishers of scientific content to improve their editorial practice.

These evaluation criteria are grouped into five areas: editorial policy; editorial management; journal presentation; presentation and identification of contents and authors; and criteria for participation in the Network’s platform.

The enerLAC Journal, by being part of databases of worldwide consultation, brings with it an increase in the impact factor of its content, which guarantees that the published works will be correctly evaluated.

The enerLAC Journal met the evaluation criteria and was accepted to be part of the REDIB platform. This achievement is the result of the joint work carried out by the members of the Editorial Committee, the team of evaluators and the authors of the articles.

For OLACDE, this achievement of the enerLAC Journal represents the quality and commitment that the Organization has with academia in the region.

Newsletter summary

On this opportunity, the Energy Journal of Latin America and the Caribbean (enerLAC), an institutional publication of The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), in cooperation with the Association of Universities of the Montevideo Group (AUGM), has been indexed in the Ibero-American Network of Innovation and Scientific Knowledge (REDIB), which is an initiative promoted by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the most important network of university cooperation in Ibero-America – UNIVERSIA.

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.
