The OLACDE Newsletter for February 2026 provides a detailed analysis of the energy sector situation and prospects in Latin America and the Caribbean. In a complex global context marked by geopolitical tensions, urgent environmental challenges, and rapid technological advances, the region stands out for its leadership in renewable energies, with nearly 70% of electricity generated from these sources, especially hydroelectric, solar, and wind. The bulletin emphasizes the importance of continuing economic decarbonization through the electrification of energy consumption and recognizes the strategic role of new technologies and low-emission fuels, such as hydrogen, to drive a sustainable and efficient energy transition.

Additionally, the bulletin highlights OLACDE’s institutional and technical progress under the leadership of Andrés Rebolledo, in his second term as Executive Secretary. The organization reaffirms its commitment to regional energy integration, capacity building, technical cooperation, and innovation, promoting initiatives that enhance energy security, equitable access to energy, and the incorporation of new technologies such as digitalization and electric mobility. OLACDE thus positions itself as a key player to support Latin America and the Caribbean on the path toward a resilient, inclusive energy transition with a long-term vision.
