CSEF V highlights

The first full day of the Caribbean Sustainable Energy Forum (CSEFV) discussions concluded on Tuesday evening. A Ministerial discourse started the proceedings.

There were two other panel discussions that focused on shifting the Caribbean Sustainable Energy Roadmap and Strategy (C-SERMS) from concept to action; lessons from the last five years of CARICOM Energy transition, and a round-table on the Integrated Resource Planning Process.

On Wednesday, the focus will be on the experiences of Jamaica and The Bahamas with energy transition; finding innovative financing mechanisms and tools; and information and capacity-building with particular reference to:

• building a culture of effective energy statistics and information management in the Region;
• integrating efficiency and renewable energy into the Regional energy system

The final panel will focus on CARICOM’s energy transition for the next ten years.
