The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) is collaborating with the CARICOM Secretariat and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to develop a new regional programme (“Scaling up the Deployment of Integrated Utility Services to Support Energy Sector Transformation in the Caribbean”) to help catalyse growth in energy services markets across the Caribbean. The programme aims to launch an innovative new approach for supporting local businesses, households, and other electric utility customers (e.g. public sector entities) to invest in renewable energy (RE), energy efficiency (EE) measures and other distributed energy resources (DERs), including rooftop solar photovoltaic, battery storage, energy efficient equipment and energy-saving devices.
