It has been found that in most cases the planning activities of energy supply were confined to oil and electricity. Planning for the renewable energy sector was virtually unknown. Today after considerable R and D effort, renewable energy resources are now regarded as capable of supplying a significant proportion of energy in the long - term future. The Latin American energy scenario, heavily dominated by oil, shows a clear scope to promote the use of renewable energies, in both small and large scale systems, in order to help accelerate the pace of sustainable development of the region.
