High energy costs and fossil fuel dependency contribute to dampening Caribbean competitiveness and potential growth. In this scenario, energy efficiency has the potential to reduce energy consumption, ensure an adequate supply of energy, increase energy security, reduce negative environmental impacts and, at the global level, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. However, it is important to have a clear understanding of macro energy sector conditions before implementing energy efficiency policies. In this study, we describe and compare energy efficiency trends in four countries in the Caribbea…
Trinidad and Tobago is heavily dependent on its oil and gas sector to support its economy and society. However, given the challenge of climate change, small economies of scale, and increased economic, social and environmental vulnerability, strategies are needed to ensure long-term sustainable development. A key aspect to be considered is the greater potential for the implementation of energy efficiency measurements, which would allow for energy security in the long term, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and increased revenue and cost savings.
In this report, the methodology of the Ener…
