Key focus areas of his presentation included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Strengthening regulatory frameworks and energy governance schemes, incorporating efficiency criteria from the design to the operational phases of infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li>Implementing results-based fiscal and financial incentives, including mechanisms such as rebates for energy savings or preferential access to green financing.<\/li>\n<li>Developing sector-specific energy diagnostics and promoting replicable best practices in sustainable construction and urban development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvesting in energy efficiency delivers tangible returns: lower consumption, increased competitiveness, and better-quality services. Governments can and should recognize these efforts through technical, financial, and regulatory instruments,\u201d stated Director Cantero.<\/p>\n<p>At OLACDE, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting the planning and evaluation of public policies that promote energy efficient infrastructure with a long-term vision, social inclusion, and universal access to quality energy services throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OLACDE promotes regulatory frameworks, incentives, and technical diagnostics to accelerate the energy transition in
