It also addresses key topics such as electromobility, energy efficiency, green hydrogen, energy districts, and the strategic role of critical minerals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The document underscores that the energy transition is a political and institutional process, not merely a technological one. For this reason, parliaments in the region play a decisive role in creating modern, flexible, and long\u2011term regulatory frameworks. The Technical Note proposes moving toward harmonized standards, common principles, and State policies that enable the consolidation of cleaner, more resilient, and more integrated energy systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This publication analyzes the regulatory frameworks needed to accelerate the energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
