Renewable Energy Forum 2011 – Caribbean Integration

Renewable Energy Forum 2011 – Caribbean Integration

In the face of rising oil prices, geopolitical tensions, environmental, climate change and energy sustainability concerns, member states within the Caribbean region, have developed, or are in the process of developing, energy policies with the objective of formulating a roadmap designed to improve the respective energy sectors and also to reduce their vulnerability to external factors.

As an organization comprised of regional electric utility companies, Independent Power producers, manufactures, suppliers; CARILEC realizes that it has a significant role to play in the development of the region’s power sector given the importance of the sector to the growth and development of a nation. It is with this in mind that CARILEC sees it fit to host its first ever forum dedicated solely to renewable energy (RE). The forum is part of the broad strategy of the Association, which aims to explore the future of renewable and alternative energy so as to meet the regions’ future needs and achieve sustainable development. CARILEC recognizes that renewable energy can contribute significantly to the sustainable development of the region’s energy landscape; however this development will only be successfully fostered through an integrative, collaborative and dynamic strategy and action plan.
