Wind energy is one of the more technologically mature forms of renewable energy that Caribbean stakeholders are seeking to deploy as the region transitions to sustainable energy. However, it is almost entirely dependent on location, and the output of a wind farm is highly sensitive to the nature of the resource. How are wind energy resources assessed, and what critical factors should project developers and planners consider? What effects will climate change have on wind project development? The CCREEE hosted a capacity building session on Wind Resource Assessment, to address these questions and more. The session covered the following modules:...
The Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) invited colleagues from utilities, regulatory bodies, and regional universities (lecturers and graduate students) to join a capacity-building session focused on the Integration of Hydropower.
The Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) invited colleagues from utilities, regulatory bodies, regional universities (lecturers and graduate students) and development partners to join us for a capacity building session focused on data collection. Prerequisites: BSc in Engineering/Relevant Discipline, or Experience in the Energy Industry Course Learning Outcomes: Understanding of the data required to complete an IRRP and the relevance of the data to the process Course Length: 2 hours (1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. AST) Course Content: Weather and climate data, grid data, risk, vulnerabilities, power system data etc. This video is a complete recording of...
This video is a complete recording of the CCREEE Project Preparation Facility's 2nd Information Session which was targeted to financial institutions and regional partners.
This is a complete recording of the IRRP webinar which focused on cybersecurity for resilient energy systems. This webinar was undertaken with the kind support of our colleagues at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
This capacity building session allowed CARICOM Member States to critically assess the outputs of the tools used in the integrated resource and resilience planning (IRRP) process and to have a greater appreciation for the importance of the inputs required to make the process meaningful. Course Content: Introduction to grid modelling in general and Power factory in particular

Energy efficiency is seen more often as a means of reducing energy consumption and costs than as a way to expand the production of goods and services. But it can help raise a company’s manufacturing capacity, improve the quantity and quality of a city’s water supply, and provide more heating and cooling to improve attendance and learning in schools - all while keeping energy costs down. It is important to recognize such benefits of energy efficiency for low- and middle-income countries - and to factor them into economic assessments of projects and programs.
