Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago – Trinidad and Tobago is more than 99% reliant on fossil fuels to power the nation. While the government has transitioned most power plants to use compressed natural gas (CNG), a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels, it remains a fossil fuel.
On the ground, the adoption of solar energy as a sustainable alternative has been slow, and the necessary regulations for its widespread use have yet to be established. In response, solar power dealers are calling on the government to partner with them and provide clear guidance to the nation through its energy transition.
This special report was published with the support of the Caribbean Climate Justice Energy Transition Fellowship, highlighting the critical need for policy and collaboration to accelerate the country’s move towards a greener energy future.
