The Energy Transformation Summit 2025, organized by El Mercurio together with the Chilean Association of Renewable Energies and Storage (ACERA), brought together in Santiago leading experts and decision-makers from the energy sector to analyze the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the industry’s future.
Throughout the event, key topics were addressed such as the development of public energy policies, the promotion of smart cities, energy efficiency, energy storage, and electromobility — all with the goal of creating a space for dialogue and collaboration that fosters innovative and sustainable solutions for the country.
Representing The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), Executive Secretary Andrés Rebolledo took part in the panel “Energy Security on the Road to Carbon Neutrality.”
During his intervention, Rebolledo stated:
“Electrification will play a leading role in the energy transition. This requires coordinated planning among countries and greater regional power integration to ensure competitiveness and security.”
The panel also featured Trinidad Castro, Regional Director for Latin America at the World Energy Council; Cristián Aguirre, CEO of Empresas GASCO; and Juan Villavicencio, CEO of Engie Chile.
The discussion explored energy security challenges, the role of gas as a backup source, the growth of solar energy, and the importance of public policies that support the sustainable development of industries.
