Promoting Green And Inclusive Growth In The
Caribbean.
ENERGY
Energy is the life blood of development.
The growth in demand for energy will continue to increase or spiral.
There is no one single source solutionto deliver our energy needs.
The region relies heavily on oil to fuel its development
2004 – oil imports were US$ 6.5 billion
2007 – oil cost almost doubledto (US$ 12 billion)

The widespread development and deployment of renewable energy technologies has been
proposed;*as a mitigating factor to climate change;
*as a solution to the high energy prices, and*the creation of new jobs to reduce poverty.

THE BARBADOS MODEL: Researched by USAID As at 2002,saved Bds $260 million in energy
costs Carbon emissions avoided in 2002, 14,000 tons
Tax incentive was helpful at 13%cost .
As at June 2011 - $1 Billion in savings

- In the Dutch Caribbean, the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao have used wind energy to generate electricity for decades.
- Curacao has installed modern wind turbinesand has one of the largest wind farms in the Caribbean.

The Government of Barbados proposes that 30% of our energy demand will come from renewable energy.
• Waste to energy.• Photovoltaic energy.• Energy incentives for
domestic and commercial use of renewable energy.

The Challenge is to find the finance to harness these
greenenergy technologies.
The opportunity is to provide a level cost of energy ,so
that we can move our economies forward.
