Latin America and the Caribbean face the challenge of modernizing their energy infrastructure and reducing consumption in key sectors, in line with their sustainability commitments. This session will explore innovative business models that allow for the implementation of energy efficiency projects without requiring large initial investments, facilitating their adoption in both the public and private sectors. Successful experiences in the region, such as Chile, will be highlighted, and financing mechanisms, shared savings schemes, and strategic alliances will be analyzed. In addition, collaborative work among key actors—companies, local authorities, multilateral banks, and green funds—will be promoted to scale replicable solutions that increase regional competitiveness and contribute to the energy transition. What enabling conditions—technical, financial, or institutional—are prioritized for scaling up energy efficiency models in the different countries of Latin America and the Caribbean?
