Latin America and the Caribbean: The Next Prime Destination for Energy Investment

AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH:

Latin America and the Caribbean: A Region Brimming with Energy Potential

The International Energy Agency (IEA) identified Latin America and the Caribbean as crucial to the global energy transition. Remarkably, around 60% of the region’s electricity comes from renewable sources - twice the global average. Countries like Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina are world leaders in wind energy while also making impressive strides in biofuels and low-emission hydrogen. As Fatih Birol, IEA Executive Director, puts it, “Latin America and the Caribbean have the potential to play a key role in the global energy economy.”

Global Push for Renewable Energy

A coalition of over 60 countries, led by the EU, US, and UAE, is advocating to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 and phase out coal. This ambitious commitment also includes doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvements and halting funding for new coal-fired power plants. Several nations, including Nigeria, South Africa, Vietnam, Australia, and Chile, have signed on, a clear signal that the region is setting the tone for a global shift towards clean energy.

Key Developments in Global Energy

Around the world, exciting developments are taking shape. Africa is set to receive $35 billion in investments for its geothermal sector by 2050 in recognition of the continent’s growing energy requirements. Kenya is emerging as a potential leader in carbon capture and storage, while Namibia is constructing Africa’s first green hydrogen iron plant. In Europe, there’s a push for more unified fiscal incentives and a common market to enhance industrial competitiveness and support the eco-friendly transition.

The Cuba Energy Summit: Your Gateway to Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean

The Cuba Energy Summit, happening from December 4th to 6th, 2024, in Havana, is the perfect opportunity for investors, service providers, and industry leaders to dive deep into the energy markets of Latin America and the Caribbean. Co-organised by CUPET and the Cuban Ministry of Energy and Mines, this summit sees the gathering of the most influential people from Cuba’s energy sector to provide valuable insights for those looking to take advantage of this growing market.

Participants will have the chance to meet and engage with top decision-makers, including HE Vicente de la O'Levy, Minister of the Ministry of Energy and Mines; Rosell Guerra Campaña, Director of Renewable Energy; and Néstor Pérez Franco, General Director of CUPET. The event will cover a wide range of topics, from exploration and production to LNG and refinery operations, and will explore what Cuba and the region need from partners in these sectors.

With over 150 attendees expected, the Cuba Energy Summit will be the first strategic opportunity for those looking to invest in Cuba’s energy projects, and they may very well be pleasantly surprised at what’s on offer from the Cuban government. The summit offers exceptional networking opportunities as well, with over 20 hours of workshops complemented by roundtable discussions, and the kind social events that high-flying executives have come to expect.

As Latin America and the Caribbean undergo significant changes in their energy sectors, now is the time to get involved. By tapping into the region’s vast resources and connecting with its key decision-makers, investors can gain a foothold in one of the most promising energy markets. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the region’s energy future.
