The Director of Studies, Projects, and Information at OLADE, Fitzgerald Cantero, participated in the event “Exploring New Horizons in Energy Efficiency: Challenges and Opportunities in Ecuador,” organized by the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL).
The central purpose of the event was to communicate the significant changes associated with the new energy efficiency law, as well as the currently effective regulations in Ecuador. This legal framework is crucial for our energy future and requires a deep understanding from all involved sectors. Additionally, it was an opportunity to explore the regional vision on energy and energy efficiency.
In his speech, Cantero emphasized that Ecuador is on the path toward energy sustainability. Energy efficiency has become a priority as the country seeks to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and minimize environmental impact. The challenges are many, but so are the opportunities. One of the goals defined at COP 28 for 2030 is to triple renewable energies, he mentioned.
The event was mainly aimed at the academic and industrial sectors, with the objective of creating a space for dialogue, learning, and collaboration that promotes greater awareness and adoption of energy efficiency practices among these critical sectors, contributing not only to environmental sustainability but also to economic competitiveness and energy resilience in our country.
