During the OLADE Energy Week, the “Integración Eléctrica Regional” Forum played a pivotal role in underlining the technical, regulatory, and political barriers that Latin America faces in its pursuit of a resilient and sustainable power system. The discussion emphasised the necessity for harmonised regulatory frameworks, cross-border collaboration, and strategic investments to bring forward regional energy integration and ensure long-term energy security across the continent.
As co-organiser of OLADE Energy Week, GET.transform helped to highlight strong connections between European and Latin American priorities through the successful collaboration with programmes like EUROCLIMA, ProTransición, and Interfaz IKI and by applying regional action to global agendas like those of the European Union (EU), and the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). GET.transform’s participation, ranging from high-level panels to facilitating strategic dialogues and networking spaces, underscored its structural dedication in driving regional dialogue and promoting international energy cooperation.
Specifically, the technical session on regional power integration was organized by GET.transform and accompanied by its expert, Daniel Cumpa Exebio, together with representatives from SIEPAC, SINEA, SIESUR, SICA and CAN.The session focused mainly on advancing the energy transition through strengthened regional power system integration. Our colleague Daniel participated as a panelist and helped answer questions on the topic.By sharing comparative experiences from different parts of the world, GET.transform highlighted the importance of a just transition that engages local communities, ensures social benefits, and promotes the equitable participation of women and youth in the energy sector.
The forum also promoted networking spaces between public and private actors to identify synergies in renewable energy, green hydrogen, digitalisation, and energy storage.
These insights outlined best practices and essential lessons to guide Latin America’s in building a more interconnected, resilient, and sustainable regional power system, while strengthening institutional collaboration and knowledge exchange across borders.
