CCREEE & CARICOM Energy E-Mobility Webinar: Innovation Opportunities and the Caribbean Reality

Stakeholders in the energy and transportation sectors were charged not to wait until a comprehensive plan and perfect conditions are available in order to get started during today’s online discussion, which focused on innovation opportunities and the Caribbean reality. The discussion, which was hosted by the Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) and the Energy Unit of the CARICOM Secretariat, saw more than two hundred stakeholders gathered to hear from regional and global experts in the field. Stakeholders also had the opportunity to vent their opinions and have their queries addressed.

Emerging Energy Solutions : Floating Solar Photovoltaic on the Rise

A significant benefit of floating solar is that it doesn’t take up valuable space on land - meaning that it can be used for other purposes, such as farming or construction. Installing floating solar farms on bodies of water, such as reservoirs, avoids this issue. Hydropower reservoirs alone cover a surface of more than 250 thousand square kilometers worldwide - enough to host enough floating solar capacity to produce 2.5 times the electricity produced by all the underlying hydropower capacity. As the technology develops, the costs and technical challenges are expected to fall. Demand for floating solar power will also...
