Islands Diesel Replacement program (“the Islands program”)

#SDGAction42401
Description
Description
The project will catalyze a comprehensive transformation of economies and communities from a reliance on imported fossil fuels to a new paradigm anchored on clean, efficient, and reliable energy systems. CCI and RMI-CWR currently work in Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, Colombia (San Andres and Providencia), Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Expected Impact

The overarching goal of the program is to transition nations to low-carbon economies through knowledge sharing, replicable projects, and world-class professional support. The project puts emphasis on activities beyond financial close of projects to a focus on energy transition (advancing current pipeline projects and creating a market for replicable projects), capacity building (sharing knowledge and training through the Community of Practice), and economic development (catalyzing financing to the Caribbean).

Governed

CCI is implementing the project in close cooperation with participating governments. CCI and RMI-CWR currently work in Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, Colombia (San Andres and Providencia), Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
