Las Americas Energy Security Act

The Las Americas Energy Security Act establishes a $100 million annual sovereign lending program (2026-2031) to support eligible Latin American and Caribbean countries in transitioning to clean energy and improving energy security. It funds renewable energy projects, battery solutions, and technical assistance, while requiring projects to prioritize U.S. goods/services, avoid Chinese/Russian state entities, and benefit marginalized communities. The program targets countries meeting specific criteria, such as being Caribbean Basin Recovery Act beneficiaries or members of democratic alliances like CARICOM. It mandates annual reports on program effectiveness and includes strict anti-corruption and environmental safeguards for funded projects.
