CANDIDATE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL TO THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF OLADE 4 1. Introduction The period of 2014/2016 was fulfilled by the Triennial Program Management - TPM (2014-2016) approved during the XLIII Meeting of Ministers, held in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, on November the 29th, 2013. The TPM (2014-2016) had as focus the efficient management of available resources, improvement of the quality of services and the strategic repositioning of the Organization. The TPM (2014-2016), however, has not been limited only to the content of the original proposal. Throughout the period, other important actions were incorporated into that proposal. An example of it is the expansion of non-reimbursable financing lines; another one is the institutional strengthening by the harmonization from the Internal Regulations to the Lima Agreement. Regarding the internal management, the economic and financial situation of OLADE were recovered through the reorientation of the function cost related to projects and studies. Likewise, the first Bidding Committee for hiring and acquisition of services and materials was implemented. In the scope of the Human Resources area, a plan of positions and salaries with automatic classification by merit wascreated. That action resulted in an incentive to officials to complement their post-graduate level studies. in a. fu Despite the greatest advances in the referred period are reflected by the activities and services developed for Member Countries, the remarkable the growth of training activities, which have increased from 1,200 students in 2013 to up to 7,000 students in 2016 is to be considered. Regarding the projects, 183 of them were administered with 81 carried through, 36 are in execution and 21 in management. The projects reached all Member Countries, fact that, on the whole, resumes the function of OLADE s excellence in promoting studies and projects to support the energy policies of all the Member Countries. In the triennium of 2014-2016, the most important experts from the region and from outside, as well, attended annual events and workshops. Furthermore, in an unprecedented way, in all meetings of Ministers there was the presence of the Head of State of the host Member Country, in a clear demonstration of the good esteem and recognition of the work developed by OLADE. Moreover, it is also important to give knowledge to the first phase of the Renewable Energy Demonstration Center of OLADE (CEDER). This is a photovoltaic power plant that will be handled as a laboratory to be used by the scientific community, universities, utilities power and the Member Countries professionals. In its first stage, the CEDER consists of a solar power plant electricity, composed by 18 panels and a laboratory of climate measures. 2. Compliance to the Lima Agreement The functions and objectives of OLADE within The Lima Agreement were established based on the rights of Latin American and Caribbean people on their natural resources. At the same time, the performance of OLADE must be in the direction of promoting integration in the region, promoting actions that contribute to exert and guarantee national sovereignty of Member Countries, in the exercise of the rights that they are incumbent in managing their own natural resources primarily on those related to the energy sector. In addition to that, OLADE more than provides its technical advice, must value the importance offocusing on fulfilling its fundamental role in the field of regional energy integration, promoting and supporting actions that promote, among its Member Countries, the autonomous development of their resources, encouraging a policy of exploration and rational use of its natural resources, contributing to the

Latin America and the Caribbean "is a region that has significant renewable and non-renewable energy resources, which combined potential reserves and places in a strategic international position; mainly regarding to oil reserves of about 333.8 billion barrels, accounting for 23% of world reserves; and hydroelectric potential inventoried, reaching 672,000 MW, 24% of the world total, but these resources are distributed unevenly within the Region "
CANDIDATE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL TO THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF OLADE 14 The integration of markets is a subject that affects the management of modern economics use of the capabilities of a given region. That is, potentiate integration and enables development with more rational use of natural resources. Similarly, it enables the reduction of asymmetries of access to resources and harmonization of the use of energy. Planned Actions a. To follow up on the conversation initiated with Itaipu Binacional-; and b. To involve more funding agencies to make the project viable. Details of this project are into theannex II. 8.7 Southern Cone Vulnerability Study The electrical safety of almost all the countries of the Southern Cone region is highly dependent on hydropower, being that only in 2014 generated 279 TWh, more than 50% of its electricity demand, served by hydroelectric plants. Despite this dependence and long investment horizons, few studies identify and quantify the impacts of climate change on hydroelectric generation from changes in the flows that feed hydroelectric plants. The possible energy shortages resulting from reductions in the availability of water resources could lead to the Southern Cone countries to be forced to power outages, adversely affecting local economies. On the other hand, there is also the risk that countries associated cover that loss of generation with fossil fuels, increasing the carbon footprint of the electrical grid. They could also consider scenarios with greater hydrology, originally planned with unfavorable consequences. This is why it is necessary to identify a set of adaptation measures that ensure the future hydroelectric relatively productivity, alleviating possible climate pressure on electrical systems. To this end, and taking advantage of the lessons learned from a similar study in Central America and other newly begun in the Andean region on vulnerability to climate change hydropower, it is possible to use art tools and cost-benefit analysis, deepening on the knowledge existing studies. The program is detailed in the profile N 4 ANNEX II. Duration: 36 months Total budget: US $ 1, 700,000.00 Financial sources: World Bank (under negotiation) and Itaipu Binacional-(a contact). 8.8 South-South Cooperation This project aims to promote the transfer of knowledge sharing, policy dialogue and technology will be through the South-South Cooperation among Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), Association of Petroleum Producers Africa (APPA), Association of Power Utilities Africa (APUA) and its Member Countries.
