Will Brazil's Belo Monte Dam Get The Green Light?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Will local groups be able to reach an agreement with developers and the government, which argue that the project is necessary to meet the country's growing energy demand? How could the consultation processes be improved to avoid similar conflicts both …

How successful have the country's efforts to develop the oil and gas sector been? What policies, models or strategies should the government consider implementing?

Will Opposition To Mega Projects Worsen Chile's Energy Woes?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

Chile's Supreme Court last month unanimously rejected the $5 billion Castilla power project, ruling that the 2,100-megawatt plant could ""harm the constitutional guarantee that one can live in an environment free of pollution.""

Does the rejection of the Castilla plant represent a major blow to Chile's energy future? How serious are the country's energy woes? Will solar, wind and other cleaner energy sources become more prevalent and help make up some of the shortfall or are they too economically …
