AUDER renews its leadership for 2026-2028: Diego Oroño will continue to lead renewable energy in Uruguay

The Uruguayan Renewable Energy Association (AUDER) held its elections for the 2026-2028 period and confirmed the continuity of Diego Oroño as president of the entity, accompanied again by Marcelo Mula San Martín in the vice presidency .

The renewal of authorities, carried out on October 28 , maintains part of the management team from the previous period and incorporates new members in strategic positions on the board of directors, in a context of transformation of the Uruguayan energy sector.

According to the association, Enzo Melani will continue as secretary , while Lucía Garín Yamgotchian will assume the role of treasurer and María José González will occupy the position of assistant secretary .

The list of deputy directors will consist of Rodrigo Alonso Suárez, Sebastián Sayas, Noelia Maciera, Ignacio Morga, and Agustín Labandera .

The new leadership represents a combination of continuity and institutional renewal. Oroño, who also serves as a project manager at Ingener and a professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of the Republic, will continue to lead an organization that brings together professionals and companies linked to renewable energy technologies.

Meanwhile, Mula San Martín, an industrial mechanical engineer and director of M2G Soluciones, will maintain his position as vice president, while Melani, a chemical engineer and director of ERGO Soluciones, will continue to be in charge of the secretariat.

AUDER also publicly thanked the members of the outgoing committee , including Lucía Addiego and Pablo Medeyros, who served as treasurer and deputy secretary, respectively, during the 2024-2026 period.

A new stage for the Uruguayan renewable energy sector

Founded in 2009, initially under the name of Uruguayan Wind Energy Association (AUDEE), the organization later expanded its scope to represent various technologies linked to the energy transition.

Currently, its activity encompasses solar and wind power generation, electric mobility, energy storage systems, green hydrogen and other technological solutions for the transformation of the energy matrix.

Among its main initiatives is the organization of the LATAM Renewables Congress , which in its July 2026 edition brought together government authorities, companies and specialists to address the challenges of electrification and energy development in the country.

During that meeting, the agenda included discussions on electrical infrastructure, new energy demands, sustainable mobility and green hydrogen, with the participation of representatives from public companies such as UTE and ANCAP.

The renewal of the board of directors comes as Uruguay analyzes how to deepen its energy transition, incorporate new technologies and take advantage of the opportunities associated with electricity demand and the decarbonization of different productive sectors.

With the new authorities defined, AUDER will begin the 2026-2028 period with the continuity of Oroño and Mula San Martín in their main positions , along with a new formation of the teams responsible for supporting the development of the national renewable sector.
