The Commission for Regional Energy Integration (Comisión de Integración Energética Regional, or CIER) has published two new reports to help enhance electricity planning and integration within the Mercosur and Andean regions. As a strategic partner to CIER, GET.transform contributed to this important work which seeks to further strengthen energy integration in the region.
For close to 60 years, CIER has brought together over 250 public and private electricity companies and institutions from 17 countries across Central and South America with the shared goal of effective regional electricity integration. The most recent CIER reports help foster integration through important overviews:
- The report on International Interconnections – Energy Exchanges and Status in South and Central America (INTERCONEXIONES INTERNACIONALES Situación e intercambios de energía eléctrica América del Sur y América Central), presents an inventory of existing and planned energy interconnections, including their technical characteristics, operational status, and energy exchanges between countries in both Central and South America. The study also provides details on the Central American Market (MER) and the Central American Interconnected System (SIEPAC).
- The second study (SÍNTESIS INFORMATIVA ENERGÉTICA DE LOS PAÍSES DE LA CIER Información del sector energético en países de América del Sur, América Central y República Dominicana) analyses the energy profiles of each country in the region from 2019 to 2023. It explores the national energy sources, primary uses, and the efficiency and productivity in the use of energy.
Together, these reports form a concise yet valuable resource to help identify potential opportunities for deeper cooperation and participation in regional energy integration across the Americas.
GET.transform is not only contributing to the technical foundation for collaboration in the region but also helping to ensure that these studies reach a broader audience, presenting them at major events such as the III Conference on Energy Integration (CIER) and OLADE’s 2025 Energy Week.
By supporting these forward-looking studies, GET.transform reaffirms CIER’s commitment to promoting sustainable and collaborative energy integration throughout the region.
