MAIN FINDINGS

2

This slide deck can be published by third parties as long as the content remains unaltered and proper reference to its origin is provided. The visuals present key findings from Alexander Ochs et al., Caribbean Sustainable Energy Roadmap and Strategy (C-SERMS) Baseline Report and Assessment (Washington, DC: Worldwatch Institute, 2015). The report can be found at www.worldwatch.org/cserms/baseline-report. The report is a first-of-its-kind regional assessment of the existing energy situation in the Caribbean. It was submitted to the Energy Unit of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) with input from all 15 member states and with support from the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The report suggests ambitious targets for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate mitigation and outlines concrete steps for how they can be achieved. For further information, please contact: Alexander Ochs, Director of Climate and Energy, Worldwatch Institute, aochs@worldwatch.org Devon Gardner, Program Manager, Energy Unit, CARICOM, devon.gardner@caricom.org Andreas Christian Taeuber, Project Leader, Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Technical Assistance (REETA), GIZ, andreas.taeuber@giz.de

measures

10 Installed Power Capacity and Share of Renewables in CARICOM Member

States, as of 2015

* Only 244 MW of this capacity is currently operational † Capacity of the generators has been derated from 2,368 MW to 2,117 MW due to the age, manufacturer, and ambient conditions of the machines that are presently available to the grid.
