I'm thrilled to share insights from my recent interview with Reuters. Small island nations (#SIDS) may contribute the least to climate change, but we bear its impacts the most. Our drive for more resilient renewable energy and resilient grids positions us as global leaders in the #RenewableEnergy transition. In 2022, #SIDS achieved a clean energy capacity of 7.6 GW – enough to power 5.7 million homes. With the development of #solarmicrogrid technology, we have a favorable pathway to reaching a 10 GW capacity by 2030. However, this ambitious goal will require at least $10 billion in financing. In this piece by Ben Payton, I discuss the potential of microgrids and the need for comprehensive financing solutions to scale these projects. Let's continue pushing for a sustainable and resilient future for our islands. #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #EnergyStorage #Microgrids #CaribbeanEnergy #Resilience Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eSpRrD8X
