Government Security News highlights the Caribbean Energy Security Summit cohosted by the Atlantic Council:
At the Summit, cohosted by the Department of State, the Council of the Americas, and the Atlantic Council, countries discussed comprehensive energy diversification strategies, such as the U.S.-Grenada pilot program that was launched in September, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries on August 27, 2014. The program is based on a model that was successfully implemented in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) and Hawaii and that seeks to identify tailored, comprehensive energy solutions for island jurisdictions.
