The Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), supported by UNIDO, is running the Project named “ Latin America and the Caribbean Renewable Energy Observatory.” The purpose of this project is to promote renewable energy by gathering information on the baseline of existing energy technology, the state of the art of more representative renewable energy projects, and financing mechanisms for projects´ development. It has been also developed a software mapping tool, which allows displaying geographically referenced information processed in the project. Read more...
