The overall goal of the CREDP is the Reduction of the Caribbean Region’s Dependence on Fossil Fuels and Contributing to Reducing GHG-Emissions.

CREDP aims to remove barriers to Renewable Energy (RE) use and Energy Efficiency (EE) application in the Caribbean. Through specific actions the Caribbean Renewable Energy Development Programme seeks to overcome policy, finance, capacity and awareness barriers. The project activities concentrate on

• strengthening of regional energy sector institutions
• government advisory with regards to Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) policies
• preparation of RE and EE projects for investment decisions
• capacity building activities and public awareness campaigns
  

It is expected that the contribution of RE sources to the region’s energy balance will be significantly increased. At the same time the Caribbean’s contribution to Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG) will be reduced.
