OVERVIEW
Join us for an exclusive, hands-on workshop designed to turn conference insights into real-world action. Held immediately after the CAREC Conference & Exhibition, this half-day session offers a more focused and interactive learning experience. Participants will engage directly with leading experts to explore practical strategies, collaborative models, and innovative approaches for accelerating the Caribbean energy transition. It’s a unique opportunity to move from inspiration to implementation in a dynamic, solutions-driven setting.
KEY QUESTIONS TO EXPLORE TOGETHER:
The sessions are designed around real-world challenges raised by CARILEC members:
- What does effective collaborative energy planning look like in small island systems?
- How can we align regulatory frameworks with the pace of technological change?
- What are the best ways to scale procurement models in small markets competing globally?
- How can CARILEC, its members, and partners help de-risk renewable energy investments?
- How can planning tools and vendor support optimize generation expansion?
- What are the risks of a utility death spiral, and how can we prevent it?
- What data, roles, and coordination are needed for a resilient, low-carbon transition at the utility, country, and regional levels?
WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH?
- Peer-tested insights on practical tools and models (e.g.,IRPs, procurement, planning)
- A preview of new hybrid energy system tools and modeling practices
- Shared strategies to avoid the utility death spiral and boost investor confidence
- Access to the CAREC Knowledge Portal, workshop recordings, and onboarding into the pilot platform
- Draft Calls to Action and future program ideas shaped by member feedback
- Clear documentation of working group goals and shared content for follow-up
