The 18th Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF) returns on October 14–16, 2026.

We are excited to announce that CREF 2026 will be hosted in Panama, positioning the Caribbean’s biggest energy conference in a major hub for Latin American and Caribbean clean energy investment.

For nearly two decades, CREF has gathered the leaders shaping the trajectory of Caribbean energy markets. More than 450 participants from 40+ countries joined us in 2025, bringing policymakers, utility CEOs, and regulators under one roof with developers ready to build and investors ready to deploy capital.

In 2026, we face the fierce urgency of now. The global order is shifting on a seemingly daily basis, with direct consequences for energy security in the Caribbean. Energy sovereignty now joins grid resilience as one of the defining issues of the next decade. CREF exists to support that drive and meet this moment.

Whether you’re shaping policy, deploying capital, or building projects, CREF is for you.
