However, he also pointed out that only 2% of the region\u2019s solar potential and 29% of its hydroelectric potential are currently being utilized\u2014representing a significant opportunity for growth. Additionally, the region produces 27% of global biofuels, further strengthening its role in diversifying sustainable energy sources.<\/p>\n<p>Rebolledo called for a comprehensive approach to addressing some of the region\u2019s most pressing energy challenges, including curtailment of renewable energy, storage deficits, and the need for backup technologies. In this context, he proposed three strategic pillars for action:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deepening regional energy integration to enhance resilience, optimize resources, and strengthen energy security.<\/li>\n<li>Strengthening electricity planning and mobilizing public and private investment, particularly in transmission infrastructure, energy storage, and grid digitalization.<\/li>\n<li>Promoting a just energy transition with a focus on gender equality, social inclusion, universal access, and improved service quality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Through OLACDE, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting member countries with robust technical assistance, promoting sound regulatory frameworks, reliable data, and strategic planning to accelerate decarbonization, improve system efficiency, and ensure a sustainable and equitable energy transition across the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The region has the cleanest electricity matrix in the world, yet faces key challenges in integration, planning, and
