4 Conclusions The Caribbean islands possess a great potential for power generation from renewable energy sources and improvements in energy efficiency. Many of the islands in the eastern Caribbean have excellent geothermal prospects, and all boast tropical climates presenting consistent wind and solar resource availability. Although the measurable impact on carbon emissions might be small as compared to the world as a whole, these islands present opportunities to demonstrate renewable energy, energy efficiency, and low-carbon energy practices and technologies that could scale-up to make a significant impact on the rest of the world. Apart from the environmental benefits, another major opportunity is the reduction of dependence on imported fossil fuels for power generation and use as transport fuel. The high cost of this foreign-sourced power has been a drain on island economies for decades. As has been shown, a number of regional policy groups, such as the CARICOM Energy Programme, CREDP/GIZ, the OAS/GSEII, OAS/CSEP, and UN agencies (UN-ECLAC, UNEP, UNIDO and UNDP among other), have in recent years intensified efforts to assist Caribbean SIDS in developing regional policy documents and projects. A number of the region’s island governments also developed national energy policies or sustainability plans that call for a re-evaluation of the current utility-generation capacity mix and the current utility mode of operation. For some of these islands, there are in fact renewable energy projects that have been deployed, adding to the local pool of experience and expertise. Programmatic approaches in a regional context, such as the CSEP program are, extremely necessary for the Caribbean countries. The wide range of activities covered by CSEP, however, is a double-edged sword in terms of effectiveness. Conversely, a good reception from countries helps CSEP in the finalization and implementation of the activities. Further, due to time scale it presently is impossible to evaluate the overall impact of programs like CSEP on the energy sector. In the next decades, an evaluation of the impacts more likely will be initiated. Currently, based on an objective methodology, the impact of CSEP and CREDP/GIZ are not measurable for the energy sector. The following information, however, is known. • Development of energy policies are often borne out of a crisis. • It is urgent that oil reductions measures are prioritized so they can be acted upon in an ordered manner. • The priorities and approach of countries and donors often differ, making it difficult to get any significant regional energy initiative or program off the ground. • The success of any well-intended initiative can be derailed by a lack of resource mobilization to support implementation. • Beneficiary countries under any energy resource supply agreement with net-oil exporting entities are vulnerable to volatilities induced by the social, economic, and political challenges of the net- exporting country. • Cooperation agreements and arrangements with net-exporters external to the sub-region can create challenges for sub-regional integration cooperation efforts. • The absence of a sustainable financing mechanism could delay the effective implementation of critical programs. • Despite the accomplishments of key regional initiatives in sustainable energy development, actual adoption and implementation at the domestic level are not guaranteed, even when local stakeholders are integrally involved or extensively engaged in the preparation and drafting stages. 102PDF Image | Energy Policy and Analysis Caribbean
