Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The agreement establishes a financing model where national electric utilities provide upfront financing for eligible technologies, such as rooftop solar and LED lighting. Customers then repay the costs through their monthly electricity bills. This initiative aims to advance cleaner energy deployment across the three Caribbean nations.
