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).
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.
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.
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:...
Energy is at the heart of development. It makes possible the investments, innovations, human capital development, and new industries that are the engines of jobs, inclusive growth, and shared prosperity for entire economies. At the same time, the world faces the existential challenge of global climate change. The World Bank’s ability to respond to energy challenges and client demand has been supported by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). This year, an additional global crisis arrived in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the World Bank pivoted to provide an emergency response, the challenge for its energy sector...

This journal article explores the potential for increasing the share of renewables in Suriname’s electricity mix, with a special focus on the complementary role of existing hydropower and future wind power infrastructure. The article demonstrates that wind and hydro resources have great synergetic potential for displacing fossil fuel-based power generation.. The results presented in the article have relevance for climate policy in various Caribbean countries and other island states with existing hydropower infrastructure and substantial wind/solar power potential, for which this study fills an important literature gap.
CCREEE's Sapphire Vital sits down with Trinidad and Tobago's TV6 to discuss the Project Preparation Facility.
This report seeks to make a contribution to scaling up energy efficiency through improved planning and design of energy efficiency interventions in the developing countries by starting with the basic management principle of What gets measured gets done. The report reviews global experience with the measurement and verification (M and V) of energy efficiency and the emerging field of recognizing the multiple benefits of energy efficiency (MBEE). Through the references, examples, data and practices highlighted in this report, this reports seeks to help practitioners demonstrate the performance of energy efficiency interventions. The overarching objective is to enable project developers, policy...
