| description |
The Caribbean region continues to be
plagued by high and volatile fuel prices, with limited
economies of scale or diversity in electricity supply.
Although several studies have examined alternative resource
options for the region, they often only consider solutions
for individual countries in isolation. When one looks at the
Caribbean, however, it is apparent that the short distances
between islands and market sizes present opportunities to
benefit from regional solutions. Indeed, increasing
interconnection in the Caribbean could pave the way for
greater energy security, a larger use of renewable and
enhanced climate resilience. The idea of regional
interconnections is not new: gas pipelines are widely used
to interconnect gas supply with gas demand, and electricity
market interconnections have become the norm around the
world. However, this option does not appear to have received
the attention it merits in the specific context of the
Caribbean. While this study analyzes a small subset of the
imaginable regional energy options for the Caribbean, it
shows that regional solutions warrant further study. This
synthesis report builds from the technical report that the
World Bank commissioned from Nexant, entitled-Caribbean
regional electricity generation, interconnection, and fuels
supply strategy. It analyzes a range of regional options.
Although further analysis is required, the hope is that this
synthesis report will help to fuel the conversation about
interconnected development pathways for the Caribbean. |
