Energy ministers from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) have met in St Kitts to tackle the region’s energy crisis and map out a sustainable future.

Led by Antigua and Barbuda’s Energy Minister, Melford Nicholas, the two-day summit focused on soaring electricity costs—ranging from EC$0.41 to EC$1.08 per kilowatt-hour—and the urgent need to transition to renewables.

The OECS Sustainable Energy Roadmap aims for 30% renewable energy use by 2030, rising to 50% by 2035, with each member state committing to at least 20% by 2030.

OECS Director General Dr Didacus Jules stressed the need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, while calling for greater regional cooperation to secure better technology and climate finance deals.

Ministers are expected to endorse the roadmap, positioning the region as a leader in sustainable tourism and clean energy innovation.
