AES Andes advances with 1.3 GW, consolidating Chile as a renewable investment hub
AES Andes' advance of 1.3 GW in new generation projects signals the resumption of a large-scale investment cycle in the Southern Cone. With operations concentrated in Chile and a presence in Colombia and Argentina, the company is expanding its portfolio at a moment when the region seeks to reconcile supply expansion with decarbonization targets. The move reinforces Chile's role as a priority destination for renewable energy capital in Latin America. According to sector sources, the scale of the program reflects investor confidence in Chile's regulatory stability and in the competitiveness of its solar and wind resources. For ALAGER, operations of this size confirm the consolidation of multi-country platforms capable of attracting long-term financing, a central element for accelerating the region's energy transition.

New regional cooperation accelerates the energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean
The launch of a new regional cooperation mechanism, driven with support from IRENA, expands the space for coordination among Latin American and Caribbean countries to accelerate the energy transition. The initiative emerges in a context of regulatory and infrastructure fragmentation that has historically limited the region's ability to tap its renewable potential. By bringing governments, agencies and financial institutions together around a common agenda, the arrangement creates conditions to unlock power-integration projects, decarbonization and capital attraction. For ALAGER, institutional cooperation is one of the least explored pillars of the regional energy debate and is set to gain prominence as countries seek scale and predictability in their transition policies.

Falling green hydrogen costs strengthen Brazil's medium-term competitiveness
New projections indicate that the cost of green hydrogen in Brazil will continue its downward trajectory, expanding the economic viability of the value chain in the medium term. The country combines favorable structural conditions — a low-carbon power mix, abundant wind and solar resources and a diversified industrial base — that position it among the most competitive potential suppliers in the global market. According to the study, cost evolution depends on factors such as project scale, access to financing and the definition of regulatory certification frameworks. For ALAGER, consolidating green hydrogen as an export vector requires coordination between industrial policy, port infrastructure and certification agreements with consumer markets, an agenda that still demands the attention of policymakers across the region.
