The Caribbean Energy Agenda Is Changing.

The direction of travel is clear: reduce dependence on imported fuels, scale renewable energy, strengthen grids and build greater resilience. But delivering on those ambitions is getting more complex.

Governments are balancing energy security with affordability. Utilities need to modernize while protecting financial sustainability. Investors need credible, bankable projects. And across the region, the challenge remains moving projects from policy and planning through procurement, financing and construction.

For 18 editions, CREF has brought together the people shaping that market.

In 2025, more than 450 participants from 40+ countries joined us, connecting governments, utilities and regulators with developers, investors, multilaterals and technology providers.

This October 14–16, CREF heads to Panama for the first time, with an agenda focused on the issues defining the market now: capital flows, project delivery, utility modernization, energy security, resilience, storage, geothermal and distributed energy.

If you’re shaping policy, operating the grid, deploying capital, developing projects, or bringing solutions to the Caribbean energy market, this is the room you need to be in.
