The XXIV edition of the EXPO ECUADOR OIL POWER & RENEWABLE ENERGIES 2024 solidified its position as one of the most relevant events for the energy sector in Ecuador. Held from November 13 to 15 at the Metropolitan Convention Center in Quito, this exhibition served as a meeting point for national and international leaders from the oil, gas, and renewable energy sectors.
The event provided an ideal platform for showcasing technological innovations, strengthening business relationships, and establishing new strategic alliances in the energy sector.
During the event, Fitzgerald Cantero, Director of Studies, Projects, and Information at OLADE, highlighted the organization’s commitment to energy integration and the transition to a more sustainable energy sector in Latin America and the Caribbean. Cantero participated in the panel titled “Energy Transition and Transformation: Social and Economic Impact,” where he emphasized the importance of such events in connecting key stakeholders and fostering energy development based on innovation and regional cooperation.
“Events like this are fundamental to connecting key players in the energy sector and building a sustainable future based on innovation and regional cooperation,” stated Cantero.
Among the topics discussed by Cantero was the importance of regional cooperation, the development of critical infrastructure, and the promotion of clean energy. In this context, he underscored the role of energy interconnections between countries as an effective solution for optimizing resources and ensuring energy security in the face of climate emergencies.
He also highlighted the need to strengthen energy storage, which is considered essential for maximizing the potential of renewable energies, which still face challenges in terms of stability compared to fossil fuels in the short term.
OLADE also participated with a booth at the fair, which became a platform for knowledge exchange among experts, business leaders, academics, and government representatives.
OLADE’s commitment to sustainable development and energy integration reinforces its role as a leader in the region, promoting solutions that optimize resources and address current energy challenges with a long-term vision.
