The Association of Oil, Gas and Renewable Energy Companies of Latin America and the Caribbean (Arpel) and the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) recently signed an agreement to promote technical and institutional cooperation actions in energy matters.

The agreement was signed by representatives of both organizations, Carlos Garibaldi, Executive Secretary of Arpel, and Andrés Rebolledo, Executive Secretary of OLADE, within the framework of Energy Week, an event organized by OLADE from October 28 to November 1 in Asunción, Paraguay.

Regarding the agreement, Garibaldi said: “OLADE and Arpel, as complementary institutions, can promote the essential multi-sector dialogue to achieve successful, fair, plural and inclusive energy transitions in Latin America and the Caribbean. This role includes actions of technical and institutional cooperation, including joint work related to sustainable energy development and its integration in the region, considering all the actors linked to the activities and processes that make up the energy chain. It is a pride for Arpel to have the opportunity to work side by side with OLADE.”

“This agreement is a milestone in the consolidation of strategic alliances that seek to strengthen sustainable energy development in our region,” said Andrés Rebolledo, Executive Secretary of OLADE. “The cooperation between OLADE and Arpel will not only allow us to enhance technical and institutional capacities, but also promote an energy transition approach that is inclusive and adapted to the specific needs of Latin America and the Caribbean,” added Rebolledo.

Among the cooperation actions expressed in the document, the incorporation of Arpel as a strategic ally of the Methane Emissions Observatory in Latin America and the Caribbean of OLADE stands out, providing technical support for its development and implementation.

The recent agreement also promotes the joint implementation of projects, specific studies, events and training opportunities related to the energy sector in Latin America and the Caribbean.
