“CREF continues to be a hub for collaboration and communication throughout the region for RE\/EE the topics are always pertinent and the timing excellent, the ability to bring all the stakeholders to work together in one space is remarkable!” Rick Case, Director of Engineering Services, Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS)<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF) is the largest gathering of the regional energy market on the annual calendar: 25+ Caribbean nations represented by their governments, utilities, and\/or regulators; 500+ attendees; 40+ countries represented.<\/p>\n

CREF is unique in terms of both its size, and in terms of the seniority and breadth of its participants. Simply put, the conference represents the market, the full ecosystem of stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cCREF is the main RE conference in the region that assembles the key stakeholders in the energy transition. It is the place to be,” Alicia Taylor, Investment Management Lead Officer, IDB Invest<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Aside from its size and the range of participants, here\u2019s why CREF stands out from other events:<\/p>\n
