source in other countries. Micro-hydropower uses small-scale hydro generation technology that produces up to (but typically not more than) 100 kW of electric power. Because of their small size, the environmental impact of these technologies is smaller than their larger counterparts, which has led to a recent increase in popularity. In LAC, almost all countries have developed hydropower infrastructure. In the Caribbean, hydropower is used by Dominica (7.6 MW), Haiti (62 MW), Jamaica (43 MW), the Dominican Republic (472 MW), and Saint Vincent (6 MW), to name a few (Gerner and Hansen, 2011). Potential: Hydropower holds great potential in South America, especially around the Andes and other regions with substantial elevation changes. While these elevation changes are not as common in the Caribbean, there is still potential. For example, even in countries where hydropower already exists, the market can be expanded. Notwithstanding, all nations must be cognizant of the problems associated with hydropower during periods of drought, low rainfall, or excessive energy use, as well as the damage to the ecosystems both up- and downstream of dams. Solar Current: A few countries, including Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, have developed solar irradiance maps to show where solar energy production is best suited and to encourage industry development. Beyond acknowledging the potential for a solar energy industry, it remains only a niche market in select countries such as Barbados, Saint Lucia, and Grenada. This lack of market development in other countries is most likely caused by the high cost required to install solar power – a problem that can be addressed by smart policies. The more common use of solar energy technology in the Caribbean is for heating water in homes. In 2009, two out of every five homes in Barbados had a solar water heating system installed, making Barbados the third highest per capita user of solar water heaters in the world. Achieving this, however, was not a simple task. As seems to be the case throughout the Caribbean, great effort went into educating and informing the public on how solar water heaters work and assuring the residents that they are safe and reliable (Schwerin, 2010). Barbados’ high electricity rates were also a factor in adopting solar. Countries with lower electricity rates, such as Trinidad and Tobago, will inevitably have more difficulty transitioning toward renewable energy. Potential: In terms of availability and potential, solar energy stands to play a large role throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) states that in one hour enough sunlight falls on the surface of the earth to power all of the earth’s electrical needs for a year (DOE, 2011a). Germany is the world’s largest solar consumer and producer, yet its solar resource is inferior to that in most of the Western Hemisphere.
