October 08, 2021, BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Two regional institutions have come together to forge a partnership to advance renewable energy (RE) development and energy efficiency (EE) promotion in the Caribbean.
Yesterday, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) formalised this partnership, signing a Framework Agreement which will guide their work together.
Vice-President (Operations) of CDB, Isaac Solomon, emphasised that such partnerships were needed now more than ever, as there is greater global urgency and ambition around climate goals.
“Indeed, the urgency of the transition in the energy sector towards greater use of RE options has significantly increased with the global accelerated drive towards net-zero or carbon neutrality by mid-century. The Bank also recognises that significant capacity constraints remain in the countries of the region including the areas of developing bankable RE/EE investment projects, sectoral planning, and for establishing enabling policy and investment frameworks. Adequately addressing these challenges in a timely manner is beyond the reach of any one institution and therefore strategic partnerships among institutions at the international, regional, and national levels are critical,” stated Solomon.
Executive Director of CCREEE, Dr Gary Jackson stated:
“Partnerships is one of our guiding principles at the CCREEE and we are therefore pleased to join forces with the CDB toward the realisation of many local, regional and international goals and ambitions. This partnership is a coalition of the willing, operating within the regional energy landscape and building on each institutions’ existing programmes. The impact sustainable energy can have on Caribbean economies cannot be understated and it is via partnerships, such as these, that we can rally together, to realise our ambitions.”
The agreement provides a structure for the two organisations to collaborate and cooperate on areas where their joint expertise can be most useful to the sector, including in capacity strengthening, knowledge management, information sharing and the preparation and implementation of RE/EE projects in countries across the region.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
