The Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) held the virtual workshop “Financing Renewable Energy Projects with a Cash Flow Approach”, a training aimed at strengthening regional capacities in the financial structuring of sustainable energy projects in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The activity was carried out within the framework of the ETRELA project (“Improving, Increasing, and Facilitating Access to Education and Training in Renewable Energy in Latin America”), funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Government of Germany. Its purpose was to provide tools tailored to the Latin American and Caribbean context, with an emphasis on:
- Understanding cash flow as a financial analysis tool.
- Identifying financing sources and blended capital schemes.
- Evaluating key indicators such as NPV, IRR, and LCOE.
- Basic structuring of Project Finance
During the workshop, the strategic importance of having trained professionals to promote viable, financially structured projects aligned with sustainability and energy equity goals was highlighted.
Through initiatives like this, OLADE reaffirms its commitment to supporting the transition toward a cleaner, more resilient, and more accessible energy model for the region, strengthening technical knowledge and skills essential for the development of renewable energy in Latin America and the Caribbean.
