Nov 20, 2014

Multiple renewable energy options exist in all Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Member States in all of them, the obvious one being solar. All are medium to high in terms of solar energy potential, Dr. Devon Gardner, Energy Programme Manager at the CARICOM Secretariat, revealed.

In varying degrees, Member States also have geo-thermal, hydro, and wind sources of energy, Dr. Gardner said.
Member States are this week observing CARICOM Energy Week under the theme ‘Achieving Climate and Economic Resilience through Sustainable Development’.

In a wide-ranging interview with the CARICOM Secretariat’s  Communications Unit, Dr. Gardner provided a synopsis of the Region’s renewable energy options as well as the state of the Community’s readiness for energy independence.
