A New Chapter for CARILEC: CAREC 2025 and beyond
Where Energy Professionals Power the Future — Together
The Caribbean is entering a pivotal era—one defined by energy resilience, sustainability, and inclusion. CAREC is evolving to meet this moment.
For decades, energy leaders across the region have called for greater collaboration. In every forum, consultation, and partnership dialogue, the message has been clear: we are stronger when we work together. CAREC is a direct response to that call.
Originally launched in 2015 as a space for knowledge exchange, CAREC has grown into a fully reimagined digital community of practice for energy professionals. Backed by regional and global partners, CAREC is now more than a platform. It is a collaborative ecosystem where professionals and organizations come together to connect, learn, and lead.
This new chapter brings enhanced tools, focused training, region-specific resources, and hands-on programs like the Strategic Training Exchange Program (C-STEP). CAREC is designed to equip utility teams, energy experts, and emerging professionals with the knowledge and support to address the Caribbean’s most pressing energy challenges.
