Over 360 delegates from 39 countries participated in CREF 2011. It was by far our biggest conference to date, emphasizing the growing significance of renewables to the Caribbean, and the role that CREF has come to play in facilitating vital dialogue between stakeholders. CREF is about more than just dialogue and this year's conference saw deals signed and new policy initiatives announced.

We would like to extend our thanks to our speakers, sponsors and delegates all of whom were instrumental in the overwhelming success of CREF 2011.

We will announce dates and a venue for CREF 2012 shortly.
