The 2010 Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF), the region’s most significant gathering of policy-makers, utilities, RE developers, development banks, private equity firms, NGOs, and other key stakeholders, will take place at Atlantis, The Bahamas, on October 14th and 15th.
CREF 2009 gathered 300 participants from 37 countries for two days of heated discussion and debate on the way forward for renewables and energy conservation in the Caribbean.
CREF 2010 will continue to tackle the financial, regulatory, policy and technological obstacles to RE/EE implementation across the region. CREF 2010 will also serve as a unique and vital forum for the international RE/EE community to meet and collaborate with Caribbean policy-holders, senior utility executives, and private sector leaders.
For all stakeholders, regional and international, public and private sector, with a role in the future energy security of the Caribbean, CREF 2010 is a must-attend event. Click here to see who you will meet.
