Eastern Caribbean is Hot on Solar Energy

(Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States Press Release) Efforts to advance renewable energy in the Eastern Caribbean got a big push forward on Wednesday, March 3, 2021, when over 200 people graduated from a training course on Photovoltaic Installation and System Inspection.

This programme was the single largest training event in renewable energy in the Caribbean Region to date. It was implemented by the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, on behalf of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) through its Sustainable Energy for Eastern Caribbean (SEEC) programme, with funding provided by the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom’s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

 While originally conceptualised to be an in-person course, the programme was modified to be delivered virtually due to COVID-19. In the end, 228 people were trained in the programme which ran from July 2020 to January 2021.
