Renewable Energy in the Americas in 2017

Globally, renewable energy investments have surged in recent years. Plummeting project costs are making renewables competitive with traditional energy sources and they are projected to account for half the growth in energy supplies over the next two decades. Latin America, already with one of the cleanest energy systems in the world, and the Caribbean stand to gain from these developments.

Council of the Americas will hold a conversation with Ethan Zindler, head of Americas for Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), and Alberto Levy, lead energy specialist at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), on the outlook for renewable energies in the Western Hemisphere.

Zindler will present key findings on Latin America and the Caribbean from the latest edition of Climatescope, BNEF’s annual survey of policies and conditions that support clean energy. Levy will discuss some of the main trends for renewables across the hemisphere and the IDB’s investment priorities for the sector.
