UK – Caribbean Partnership on Clean Energy – From Untapped Potential to Regional Powerhouse<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

By Ingrid Lavine – <\/strong>Climate and Renewable Energy Adviser, Caribbean Development Team – UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the world imagines the Caribbean, it often conjures images of postcard beauty – brilliant sunshine, turquoise seas, lush mountains, and cooling trade winds. Yet that same sun, wind, water, and geothermal heat represent an energy powerhouse hiding in plain sight.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The United Kingdom recognises this untapped advantage and is increasingly focused on partnering with Caribbean countries to turn these natural assets into affordable energy, driving clean, resilient and sustainable growth.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Caribbean has the potential to generate more clean energy than it can use with many islands able to run entirely on renewables and have excess to supply their neighbours. Some countries could also convert renewable electricity into transportable fuels like green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, around 87% of CARICOM\u2019s energy mix is still based on fossil-fuel, leading to high electricity prices. Many Caribbean families pay from twice to nearly three times, what households elsewhere spend on electricity. This dependence on fossil fuels perpetuates economic vulnerability, high debt burdens, and energy insecurity.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The UK – a strong partner in CARICOM\u2019s Energy Transition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2015 the UK has provided USD $39 million to support the energy transition in the region. The UK has supported geothermal development, solar PV installation, energy efficiency retrofits to public buildings and training initiatives to boost regional capacity in the Eastern Caribbean, and the groundwork for a regional offshore wind market.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A major success story is the UK\u2019s support to Dominica\u2019s geothermal development which \u2018de-risked\u2019 the upstream cost of drilling and provided the private sector with the confidence to invest. Dominica is now poised to commission the first geothermal plant in the English-speaking Caribbean in April 2026.  This plant has tremendous transformation potential for Dominica, but it took several years of government commitment and leadership, patience, collaboration and flexibility of several development partners. We are aiming for similar success with ongoing projects in Grenada and St Lucia.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

UK support to install energy efficient street lighting and a solar PV plant at the international airport have also led St Vincent and the Grenadines to save millions of dollars and avoid hundreds of tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. And our support to assessing offshore wind potential, while fledgling, has enormous development potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why isn\u2019t the Caribbean a Global Clean Power Front Runner?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CARICOM set a bold target in 2013: 47% renewable electricity generation by 2027. The region has made slow progress, achieving roughly 13% renewable by 2023. But the numbers is clear \u2013 the pace must accelerate dramatically to reach the 47% goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress has been uneven. A few countries have taken meaningful steps toward scaling solar, wind and geothermal power but others continue to lag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most Small Island Developing States (SIDS), the region\u2019s biggest challenges are structural: small grid sizes, high capital costs, limited technical capacity, and fragmented markets that prevent economies of scale. Many countries also lack modern grid infrastructure and updated regulatory frameworks \u2013 both essential for integrating intermittent solar and wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Moment of Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But solutions exist. Regional pooled procurement and project aggregation can lower costs and attract large investors. Modernising grids and updating energy regulations can open the door for greater private sector participation. Blended and concessional finance can help governments overcome prohibitively high upfront costs. And building local engineering and technical capacity will ensure long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything the Caribbean needs is within reach \u2013 there is no time to waste. With decisive action, coordinated regional leadership, and strategic partnerships, the region can turn its natural abundance into energy security, lower electricity bills, and a more resilient future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK stands ready to partner with the Caribbean. Through the Global Clean Power Alliance, we\u2019ve agreed on a concrete Caribbean action plan for 2026\u20132028, providing on\u2011demand UK private\u2011sector and technical expertise to tackle key barriers and attract the investment needed for progress towards clean\u2011energy .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resources are already here. The moment is now.<\/p>\n
