How do we support sustainable Energy?

Though many Caribbean OCTs have made significant strides in reducing their fossil fuel dependency, energy rates remain high in the region. RESEMBID seeks to support their thrust to deliver resilient energy services to their respective local populations – which means :

• increased capacity and competency of the people of the OCTs to utilize and maintain innovative technologies

• contributing to low carbon development locally and regionally. RESEMBID will:

• provide substantive technical assistance through multiple channels including the provision of technical training in energy efficiency and renewable energy

• commission feasibility studies and commission subsequent pilot and proof-of-concept projects in-country
