Barbados Energy Research →Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Caribbean energy research important now?
Caribbean energy research is critically important now due to converging factors: Guyana's transformative oil discovery of 11+ billion barrels is reshaping the regional economy, Trinidad & Tobago's mature $20B+ oil and gas industry faces energy transition pressures, and Caribbean nations are committed to ambitious renewable energy targets.
What is the impact of Guyana's oil discovery on the Caribbean?
Guyana's oil discovery of 11+ billion barrels in the ExxonMobil-operated Stabroek block is transforming the Caribbean energy landscape. The country is now one of the world's fastest-growing economies, with oil production creating ripple effects including workforce migration, infrastructure development, new supply chain opportunities, and concerns about Dutch Disease.
How does HRG conduct energy sector research in the Caribbean?
HRG conducts energy sector research through stakeholder engagement surveys with industry executives and regulators, community impact assessments, workforce readiness and skills gap studies, public attitude surveys on energy policy, environmental perception research, and local content compliance studies. Our on-the-ground teams across Trinidad, Guyana, and Jamaica enable primary data collection.
What renewable energy research opportunities exist in the Caribbean?
Caribbean nations are actively transitioning to renewable energy, creating significant research demand. Jamaica targets 50% renewable energy by 2030, Barbados aims for 100% renewable by 2030, and Eastern Caribbean nations are investing in geothermal. HRG supports this transition through consumer willingness-to-pay studies, community impact assessments, and workforce development studies.
How does energy affect Caribbean economies?
Energy profoundly shapes Caribbean economies in contrasting ways. In Trinidad & Tobago, oil and gas contribute approximately 40% of GDP and 80% of export earnings. Guyana's oil production is transforming it into one of the world's fastest-growing economies. For energy-importing islands like Jamaica and Barbados, high electricity costs impact business competitiveness and household budgets.
