The Renewable Energy Industry in CARIFORUM Countries

INTRODUCTION | LITERATURE REVIEW

The Barbados RE stakeholder study did examine the relationships of RE stakeholders but did not include much of the analysis being proposed now. Based on the regional documents and the types of national studies done, it may be concluded that a regional mapping of the RE Industry would add value to the body of work available. Such work would reveal the existing structure of the RE industry in CARIFORUM and create an evidence-based platform for the formulation of interventions aimed specifically at developing indigenous RE capabilities, through support to industry actors and their evolving networks.
