Online Live Event – 10 & 11 March 2021 
Renpower Caribbean Investors 2021
The 2nd RENPOWER CARIBBEAN – investors 2021 has been designed to facilitate the dialogue among a wide cross-section of energy sector stakeholders – local and regional policymakers, private sector representatives and international experts – gathered to move forward with the resolution of adopting renewable energy to address key challenges such as energy security, energy sustainability and a resilient power infrastructure in the Caribbean region.
For recent years, the Dominican Republic has been leading the energy transformation in the Caribbean with several renewable energy projects already operating that in 2020 accounted for 17% of the energy injected into the grid. For 2021, the government seeks to reawaken and accelerate more projects with 400 MW in PPA’s in the upcoming months and also grid modernization to support the deployment of renewable energy.
Early in 2019, Puerto Rico adopted a new energy policy law – Act 17 – to set clear and ambitious goals for renewable energy adoption of 40% by 2025 and 100% by 2050. Early in 2021, The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) is slated to launch the first of six procurements, to secure 1,000 MW of solar and 500 MW of storage in the first round. In total, the island seeks to add 3.75 GW of solar and 1.5 GW of storage by 2025.
By 2025, Jamaica is expected to be generating approximately 22% of its electricity from renewable sources, and to achieve this goal the island is slated to tender 500 MW of renewable energy project in 2021. Moreover, the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) will be investing more than US$100 million towards the modernization of the nation’s electricity grid, within the next five years.
The Bahamas and the Cayman Islands are also seeking to increase renewables penetration into the energy mix as part of the energy policies to establish energy independence and supply affordable and sustainable energy to the grid. The impact of climate change in the Caribbean and the importance for universal access of electricity is leading the Caribbean governments and private sector to look for strategies to catalyze the integration of renewable energies into the regional energy system.
