Have you wondered about electric vehicles (EVs)? How are they maintained? What if I run out of charge? Can they accommodate long distances or, hilly terrain? This session will answer ALL your questions.
Financial institutions across the Caribbean Community had the opportunity to learn more about project support systems and tools within the renewable energy and energy efficiency space. Although renewable energy and energy efficiency technology have seen notable decreases in cost, leading to significantly lower capital needed to invest in new systems, financing renewable energy projects remains a major difficulty in the region. Project development support, along with risk reduction measures can therefore increase investment in these projects. To support this endeavour, the CARICOM Development Fund (CDF) and the Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) partnered to develop a...
There are various tools involved in developing medium and long-term plans for the electricity sector. Whether planners are building models and forecasts themselves or evaluating the work of external consultants, they need an appreciation for the techniques and theory behind the models and forecast for electricity supply, transmission, distribution and demand. The Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) hosted a capacity building session on modelling tools, held virtually on Wednesday, November 4, 2020. This was an introductory presentation on various tools used in electricity sector planning, ranging from simple to sophisticated, as well as how these tools...

Floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) technology is considered commercially viable, given the number of largescale projects that have been implemented. Challenges to its deployment remain, however, including the lack of a robust track record; uncertainty about costs; uncertainty about the environmental impact; and the technical complexity of designing, building, and operating on and in water (especially electrical safety, anchoring and mooring issues, and operation and maintenance). This handbook provides developers, utilities, contractors, investors, regulators, and decision makers with practical guidelines on FPV projects. Most of the handbook focuses on technical aspects relating to developing and operating FPV projects; some sections focus...
The Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) hosted a webinar focused on integrated resource and resilience plans (IRRP). The Centre is currently undertaking IRRPs for several CARICOM Member States and welcomes the opportunity to share with others, such that local and regional institutions are strengthened.
