Caribbean Central American Action<\/a><\/span> (C-CAA), U.S. Department of Energy, and the Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands. It will be held at Frenchman’s Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort in St. Thomas.<\/p>\nThe CCETS will assemble key stakeholders in the public and private sectors throughout the Caribbean to explore the role that\u00a0clean energy technologies can play in the electricity, transportation, industrial, and commercial industries\u00a0in the Caribbean region. The symposium will be the first in a series of three annual gatherings dedicated to meeting the critical energy needs of the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
“The U.S. Virgin Islands is a prime location for the launch of this symposium,”\u00a0VIEDA\u2019s Chief Executive Officer Percival E. Clouden said. “As clean energy continues to have an impact on economic development and our quality of life, the VIEDA supports all efforts for energy efficiency in the Caribbean.”<\/p>\n
The symposium seeks to gather country and sector experts who will work together in identifying common goals, and create action plans expected to\u00a0lead to increasing access to energy efficiency, and clean and renewable energy technology in Caribbean nations.<\/p>\n
During the four-day event,\u00a0discussions and planning sessions will focus on topics, such as energy education, economic development, building energy and water efficiency, utilities and renewable energy generation, base load electricity diversification, climate change and resilience, and clean transportation.<\/p>\n
The CCETS will also include a Technology Education Hall and exhibitor opportunities for private sector companies.<\/p>\n
Events Breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\nMarch 24 – A series of pre-scheduled private meetings for stakeholder delegates, the opening of the exhibit area, and an evening reception will be held.<\/p>\n
