Representatives from the Canadian High Commission in Jamaica led a master class conversation on “Policy, regulatory effectiveness, investor confidence and consumer interests in the Caribbean’s emerging energy transition – who pays for what to ensure a fair, efficient and competitive market?”

During the discussion regulators were encouraged to not micromanage utilities but rather to provide them a framework to work with.

During the spirited discussion, panelists identified that for this complex topic, much of the aversion towards females choosing more technically inclined profession would have been molded from societal constructs within their fundamental years, public education on the benefits of STEM.

Panelists included Cherri-Ann Farquharson, Capacity Development and Gender Expert, CCREE, Elizabeth Bullock-Defraites, Energy Solutions Manager, CARILEC, and Lillian Michel, Foreign Service Officer, U.S. Department of State.

📌Creating A Space for the regulator and the Utility to Thrive.

What an engaging panel discussion on day 1 of CAREC 2024. Energy leaders recognize the need for collaboration with all stakeholders to move forward with RE discussions for the region.

The panelists stressed the importance of measurable objectives that can be assessed and of the importance for stakeholders (internal and external) to understand strategies to identify next steps.

Regulators and utilities need to adapt and be flexible to align themselves and there must exist innovation from regulators in terms of supporting new technologies and a strong consultative process should exist which informs investors and utilities.
