Small island developing states (SIDS) in the Caribbean face unique challenges associated with the generation and use of energy. Most Caribbean island-nations depend almost exclusively on imported petroleum for their energy needs, especially for electricity generation and transportation. This high level of dependence leaves these countries vulnerable to the volatile fluctuation of international oil prices and results in a tremendous drain on the capital available for imports. In addition, Caribbean islands are particularly vulnerable to the environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel consumption, such as sea level rise and the increased strength and frequency of hurricanes.
Description
Since its inception in 2008, CSEP has brought together government representatives from seven
Caribbean States in efforts to reach the top of the Caribbean islands’ national agendas and
improve market conditions for the development and use of renewable energy and energy efficiency
systems, given the fact that the islands have a particular vulnerability arising from their
dependency on imported fuels and the concomitant local and global environmental damage caused
by fuel generation.
The two core categories are:
Establish sustainable energy goals/targets through the adoption of national energy policies (NEPs) and/or sustainable energy plans (SEPs),
Support the implementation of activities that address specific challenges or barriers as outlined in national NEP(s)/SEP(s).
Participating Countries
Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of the Bahamas,
the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent
and the Grenadines
