Towards greater sustainability
Energy Efficiency
Renewable Energy
Efficient use of fossil fuels
Taking into account the insular nature of island
states
Insular environment
Implications
•
No grid interconnections
•
Greater impact renewable energy
•
Independent energy system
•
Greater system dynamics
Impact of the Caribbean climatic conditions
New technology to be tested …and
New business models to be developed
Mission Challenge
“Keeping it Affordable and Reliable”
Use renewable energy sources,
How keep energy and the
energy system affordable?

Sustainable
e.g. photovoltaics, wind- and hydropower,
thermal energy, biomass, biogasses, etc.
Use energy more efficiently, e.g.
by deploying heat pumps, electric vehicles,
combined heat and power, etc.
!
… increasing reserve power and grid
capacity is an expensive undertaking.
