Caribbean SIDS are the least to contributors and are the most vulnerable to the impact of climate change. With limited natural resources and small economies of scale, the economic cost associated with climate change is estimated to be 15% of the combined GDP. With climate change and the Sustainable Developing Goals in mind, infrastructure systems have the ability to address these issues.

In developing countries, battery storage is becoming a viable way to increase system flexibility and enable more integration of variable renewable energy. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) respond rapidly to control signals, are easy to deploy, and are benefiting from cost reduction trends. New battery technologies have valuable attributes that are well suited to the needs of developing countries. However, they have a rather short track record in terms of deployment and operation, and this can hamper efforts to reassure buyers and investors that these new technologies will perform reliably over their project life. Conditions found in some developing countries...
