Energy Transition and Sustainable Infrastructure
The region’s substantial potential for renewable energy resources positions it as a key player in the global energy transition, enabling it to meet climate targets and capitalise on opportunities for green investment. We build resilience into infrastructure and ensure returns for investors by integrating climate risk into the energy mix, whilst enhancing the impact on local communities.
Why is this important?
Latin America and the Caribbean’s vast renewable energy potential is essential for decarbonising the global energy mix. Investing in renewables and energy efficiency is the path to a resilient future. Building resilience into infrastructure improves the impact on local communities and ensures returns for investors, whilst factoring in climate risk.Key Facts
There is growing demand for investment in renewable energy targets. Financial instruments must remove barriers to green hydrogen, storage (batteries) and the modernisation of distribution networks.Subsectors
Non-conventional Renewable Energy Generation
-
Project Type
Floating photovoltaic solar farm on existing hydroelectric reservoirs, optimising the use of transmission infrastructure and reducing water evaporation.
Green Hydrogen and Storage
-
Project Type
Pilot electrolysis plant powered by wind energy to produce green hydrogen intended to replace diesel in heavy goods transport or mining.
Resilient Transmission Infrastructure
-
Project Type
Underground electrical distribution networks in coastal areas vulnerable to hurricanes, combined with local microgrids to ensure continuity of service in the event of disasters.
