In 2024, approximately 53,000 GWh of renewable energy were not generated due to climatic conditions, transmission system constraints, and demand restrictions.<\/em><\/p>\n

This represents 3.2% of the total annual electricity generation.<\/em><\/p>\n

To reduce these losses, OLACDE proposes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use more robust power planning models that allow for more accurate sizing of the expansion of renewable generation capacity, taking into account climate conditions, demand growth and seasonality, transmission constraints, among other variables.<\/li>\n
  2. Develop demand management models at hourly and seasonal levels.<\/li>\n
  3. Promote international integration to address electricity needs by leveraging exportable surplus.<\/li>\n
  4. Promote distributed generation.<\/li>\n
  5. Install energy storage systems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
