The Association of Renewable Energy Generators (AGER) successfully held the second edition of the Renewable Energy Summit – SER 2026, consolidating this event as one of the leading regional platforms for strategic dialogue to advance the energy transition, long-term energy planning, and the development of the energy sector in Guatemala and Latin America.
SER 2026 brought together more than 600 participants from diverse sectors, including government authorities, business leaders, multilateral organizations, investors, international experts, and key stakeholders from the electricity industry. The Summit also welcomed participants from across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, positioning Guatemala as a regional hub for the analysis of the main challenges and opportunities facing the energy sector.
During the Summit, Andrés Rebolledo, Secretary Executive of the Organización Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Energía, analyzed the new regional energy architecture, characterized by a higher share of renewable energy, an accelerated electrification process, and increasing pressure from digital and industrial sectors demanding clean, reliable, and competitive energy.
In this context, he highlighted that Latin America and the Caribbean are emerging as a strategic region due to their high share of renewable energy, significant solar, wind, and geothermal potential, as well as their key role in critical minerals and biofuels required for the global energy transition.
He further emphasized that regional electricity integration, together with more flexible energy systems, the deployment of energy storage, and the development of smart grids, will be decisive factors in strengthening competitiveness, resilience, and energy security in the new low-carbon economy.
