CARICOM Secretariat speaks to GTZ-CREDP on Energy/Renewable Energy PV systems on their roofs and that contributes through a system they call Net Metering to the reduction of their operational costs. Net Metering means simply that the electricity which is produced by this Photovoltaic system is deducted from what the consumer would otherwise have bought from the utility. Net Metering is generally an electricity policy for consumers who own small renewable energy facilities, such as wind, solar power or home fuel cells. Under net metering, a system owner receives retail credit for at least a portion of the electricity he/she generates. CARICOM Secretariat’s Joseph Williams on site with Thomas Scheutzlich That means all these photovoltaic systems are grid-connected and we will see more to come. We already have in Saint Lucia some projects which are in preparation and this year will be installed. We see in St. Vincent the same. We have in Jamaica, Grenada. So photovoltaic is something which we should have an eye on, particularly since the costs for production of solar cells will drop further. One thing is also clear. That is that present low electricity prices will not sustain. We will go back to higher oil prices and then photovoltaics will play a major role. CJ: You talk about these private photovoltaic systems feeding into a grid. Does this suggest that electric utilities are ready and willing to accept that kind of arrangement and are now ready to talk “Renewable Energy”? TS: Utilities in the Caribbean have moved forward tremendously in their approach to renewables during the last 3 to 4 years. While we know that utilities are traditionally a bit conservative and prefer to do what they have always done and what they know; in the Caribbean, that means running diesel plants or fossil fuel-based plants. Many utilities have recognized that this cannot continue particularly based on high oil prices internationally, so they are looking into Renewable Energies. I think utilities have learned a lot during the last couple of years. Based on pressure; sometimes from the consumers, from government and international discussions about renewable energies, utilities are embarking on Renewable Energy technologies; basically, wind technologies. Those which already have hydro-power are looking into new hydro-power plants. Photovoltaics is also an interesting option for them. Particularly we see that in St. Vincent. St. Vincent is just preparing with our systems, a larger photovoltaic plant on the roof of Page 6 of 16PDF Image | Caribbean Renewable Energy Development
