Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF)

The 15th annual Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum is the meeting place for more than 400 energy sector and finance leaders who are united in a common goal: to ramp up investment in clean energy across the Caribbean. It is the largest gathering of the Caribbean energy market.

Now, the focus on the energy transition has sharpened. Global geopolitical tensions, the pressure to decarbonize, and the critical need for energy independence have thrust clean energy to the top of the regional agenda. The time for talk and targets has passed. How do we translate this new urgency into progress and projects? Ultimately, how do we get the clean energy transition over the finish line?
