Press Release: CARILEC Reflects on Challenges and the Resilience of the Caribbean Energy Sector as the 2024 Hurricane Season Ends.

For the energy sector in the Caribbean, the aftermath of hurricanes underscores the vulnerabilities inherent to island systems. With aging infrastructure, topographical vulnerabilities, the need for the introduction or revision of relevant policies and frameworks, and supply chain issues, regional utilities face immense challenges in mitigating and recovering from storm-related damages.

During Hurricane Beryl, approximately 158,101 customers across the region were left without power as high winds and torrential rain battered utility networks. The prolonged outages affected homes, businesses, and critical services, highlighting the need for robust disaster preparedness plans and recovery mechanisms.
