Proposed Action Plan for Integration and Energy Development in OLADE's Member Countries in the Caribbean

Transcription

1 Proposed Action Plan for Integration and Energy Development in OLADE's Member Countries in the Caribbean Interagency Support Group: CARICOM, OLADE, CEIS, ECLAC, IDB, World Bank, UNDP, UNEP, URC RED CYTED. Proposal prepared by the Latin American Energy Organization, OLADE- 11/1/01

2 Background: The Action Plan for Energy Integration and Development in the Caribbean, is the result of joint work of the institutions of the Inter-Agency Support Group to the Integration and Energy Development Process in the Sub region (CARICOM, OLADE, CEIS, ECLAC, IDB, World Bank, UNDP, UNEP, URC, CYTED RED). It arises from the initiative of the Latin American Energy Organization, through the interagency meeting held in Kingston, Jamaica on September 8, 01. This effort seeks to identify measures and actions that should be adopted in the short and medium term to promote integration and energy development in the Sub region, thereby promoting interagency coordination and joint work. The First Phase identified the main actions currently running and implemented in the coming years by the international agencies that have a presence in the Caribbean Sub region. With the identification of these actions, it was prepared this Action Plan for Integration and Energy Development in the Caribbean, which must be validated in a first meeting with the technicians and the energy authorities of OLADE's Member Countries in this Sub region, thus contributing to the definition of an energy agenda for the Caribbean. The actions and measures proposed by thematic area are: a) Rational and Efficient Use of Energy, b) Diversification of the Energy Matrix and New and Renewable Sources of Energy, c) Energy access, d) Environment, Energy and Climate Change, e) Regional Integration f) Institutional Strengthening, indicating in each case, the suggested action, the expected results, the Inter-Agency Group that will be responsible for supporting the Region and government entities to coordinate and participate in activities to develop. The numbers are an indication of priority in which number means those items that require more finance or are not secure the finance, number means those items in which exist interest because its relation with projects in progress but do not have enough finance for its development, and number 1 means, the items that could have financing for its relation with other projects that already have financing.
