6 The Cost of RE is Becoming Cheaper 5

7 Opportunities: US$6.3 billion market for 1,878 MW for Capacity Intermittents continue to be 60% of planned installed capacity and 35% of planned investments 6

8 The RE Index at CREF Partnered with CREF to produce RE Index and the Marketplace since 2012 Tool to track progress and prospects in renewable energy investment in the Caribbean Measure of progress by jurisdiction on RE Equal weight for enabling environment, planned generation, and existing generation For more detail, our note on methodology is online, or come chat after Data comes from surveys sent to ministries, regulators, and utilities, as well as what is publicly available online. We received responses from 33 jurisdictions this year 7

9 Big Picture: Familiar top performers Belize Dominica Guadeloupe Top performers have a strong enabling environment, have existing RE generation, and are planning to further expand RE generation 8

10 Overview of Top Performers Dominica Enabling environment: 5 Existing generation: 6MW 0.4MW 0.2MW Planned generation: 110MW Total Installed Capacity: ~24MW Belize Enabling environment: 4 Existing generation: 54 MW 27MW 0.4MW Planned generation: 16MW Total Installed Capacity: ~154MW Guadeloupe Enabling environment: 5 Existing generation: 26MW 9MW 15MW Planned generation: 12 MW Total Installed Capacity: ~508MW 9

11 Enabling environment and Existing RE Average EE score (3.2) Average RE Share (11%) *Belize is above the average, with 87% RE share and EE score of 4.0 Note: Existing RE is based on estimates for end-2016

12 Share of Planned Electricity Produced from RE 110MW 40MW 32MW 16MW 1MW 381MW 18MW 12MW 8MW 706MW 72MW 6MW 11

13 Large projects coming up Cuba: Projects: Ciro Redondo Sugar Mill (62MW), and Herradura I (52MW) &Herradura II (52MW) CAPEX: ~186 and 153 million USD Puerto Rico: Project: Montalva Solar Project Belize (100MW) Project: CAPEX: ~145million USD Santander Sugar (Co-generation) (16MW) CAPEX: ~90 million USD Dominican Republic: Projects: Parque Montecristi (58MW) Solar and Fotovoltaico WCG (50MW) CAPEX:~100 million USD and 110 million USD Jamaica: Project: Paradise Park Solar Farm(37MW) CAPEX: ~129 million USD Guyana Project: Hope Beach Wind Farm (13MW) CAPEX: ~50 million USD 12
