Powering the Caribbean Together. Procuring Smarter. Building Energy Sovereignty
Pre-Conference Workshop
CCREEE’s Economic Investment Platform (EIP) for Pooled Procurement Initiative is transforming how Caribbean countries access renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies. By bringing Member States together to aggregate demand, the region can unlock the purchasing power of a much larger market, securing better prices, higher-quality technologies, and lower procurement costs than countries could achieve individually.
For Small Island Developing States, where small markets and fragmented demand often lead to higher costs and limited supplier options, this regional approach is a game changer. It creates a stronger, more attractive market for leading international suppliers while delivering greater value for governments, businesses, and communities across the Caribbean.
But this initiative is about more than savings. It is about strengthening Caribbean energy sovereignty, giving countries greater control over their clean energy future, reducing dependence on volatile global energy markets, and creating stronger buffers against external shocks such as fuel price spikes and supply chain disruptions.
By promoting harmonized technical standards, transparent procurement, and stronger national capacity, CCREEE is helping build more resilient, reliable, and sustainable energy systems throughout the region.
Together, we are turning collective action into collective power, advancing regional integration, enhancing energy security, and accelerating the Caribbean’s transition to a cleaner, more resilient, and energy-independent future.

Women in Renewable Energy Luncheon
Hosted by CCSA & CCREEE
Now a favorite element of CREF, the Women in Renewable Energy Luncheon provides a dedicated space for women across the industry, alongside gender allies, to connect, inspire one another, and reinforce the importance of integrating gender across every aspect of the energy transition, from investment to implementation, and from policy to practice.
This limited-capacity luncheon will explore how the sector can continue to address gender bias and structural inequities while ensuring that Caribbean women are represented in the decisions, institutions, and investments shaping the region’s energy future.
CREF participants may request an invitation to join the luncheon and become part of a growing regional community committed to advancing women’s leadership in renewable energy.
Hosted by:
Please note: The luncheon is an optional, complimentary registration item, and attendance is by invitation. CREF registrants will have the option to request an invitation during the registration process. Capacity is limited, and attendance will be confirmed separately.
