High energy costs, isolated grids, and abundant renewable energy resources make island nations uniquely situated to demonstrate the benefits of deploying energy efficiency and renewable energy at scale. Islands have the potential to take the lead and to show the rest of the world how to transform our shared energy future. Island nations are ideal for energy analysis both economically—as they often form small discrete markets—and technologically, because they consist of isolated electrical-grid systems. Significant energy costs and the reliance on uncertain sources of foreign fuel are two factors that generally drive islands’ desire to deploy EE and RE quickly. For this reason, islands should have aggressive sustainability goals. Plus, their relatively small size should aid islands in achieving these ambitious goals more quickly and at a cost less than that of similar goals in larger nations. These factors provide a unique opportunity for islands to demonstrate a transformed energy economy and to showcase how to identify and eliminate the technical, financial, and policy barriers to high penetration of EE and RE technologies. A transformation of island’s energy use is critical to the economic future of the Caribbean nations. Reliance on foreign sources of energy diverts critical funds off-island, and continues to be a major contributing factor in the depression of island economies. The volatile price of electricity discourages foreign investment and the formation of new businesses. Over time, climate change and other human impacts on ecology could dramatically affect small islands, as hurricanes intensify in strength and frequency, acidic oceans bleach coral reefs, and sea levels rise (Roper 2007). On a more positive note, many islands possess abundant renewable energy resources. The consistent solar regime and tropical northeast trade winds represent abundant, largely untapped sources of energy. Many of the volcanic islands in the eastern Caribbean also have excellent geothermal prospects, and all of the Caribbean islands have the potential to develop solar, wind, biomass, and waste-to-energy as renewable energy resources. Energy efficiency is another promising area that should be pursued in the Caribbean. Energy-efficient homes could take advantage of moderate climate, well-placed shading, and prevailing winds to reduce air-conditioning loads. More efficient vehicles can reduce dependence on foreign oil, and there is the opportunity to use plug-in vehicles on islands where other large, untapped renewable resources (such as geothermal sources) are available and “range anxiety” (the fear that a vehicle has insufficient range to reach its destination and thus would strand the vehicle’s occupants) is not a concern. 1.2 Methodology Several programs and initiatives have assisted Caribbean states in addressing sustainable energy development challenges. More recent initiatives include the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Energy Program, the Caribbean Renewable Energy Development Program, and the Caribbean Sustainable Energy Programme (CSEP)—all of which have been involved in supporting the creation of national energy policies and action plans in the countries falling within the scope of this report. There have been some successes in the preparation of these instruments, and in the general thrust towards the effective development, implementation, and management of renewable energy solutions. There are significant challenges, however, which have served to hinder the sustainability of past and current energy policy initiatives. Thus, the LCCC team has sought to conduct an energy policy analysis with a view to understanding and addressing the policy and technical challenges that the region faces. 3PDF Image | Energy Policy and Analysis Caribbean
