CIPORE Training Workshop
Mr. Bryan Taylor, economist and RTC committee member recently attended the Caribbean Information Platform on Renewable Energy (CIPORE) March 18th & 19th, 2009. CIPORE was developed to provide a medium for renewable energy communication and information exchange in the region and presently involves 13 Caribbean countries; The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cuba, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Surinam and Trinidad. Once launched, the CIPORE will be an asset to the Corporation and The Bahamas by providing a wide forum in which to promote the country’s RE initiatives to the world, and a resource access point for government entities, utilities, educational institutions and the public at large.
