Energy Ministers and officials from the Caribbean, a US government delegation, and representatives from the public and private sectors and development finance banks were present at the recently concluded Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF) held in Montego Bay. The forum sought to discuss and drive forward the renewable energy agenda for the region.

The two day conference comprised of several panels encompassing areas such as biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar energy, wind energy and waste-to-energy. Panels also addressed issues of financing, the harnessing of renewable energy potential as well as regulation.
