Energy Revolution – A Key Aspect of the ECCB’s Big Push Agenda

Energy Revolution - A Key Aspect of the ECCB's Big Push Agenda

19 March 2026, Basseterre, Saint Christopher (St Kitts) and Nevis - The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) remains steadfast in its commitment to sustainable resilience. Governor Antoine's "Big Push" is a strategic roadmap designed to accelerate economic growth and regional stability throughout the member countries of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU).

Speaking on this week's episode of ECCB Connects, Chief Technical Advisor for the Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE), Charlin Bodley, shares information on what CCREEE is doing to advance the energy revolution.

Bodley highlights the benefits of the transition from the imports of fossil fuels to the use of renewable energy. This, she says, will result in more fiscal space for economic growth, more stable electricity prices, the ability to create new industries and new job opportunities. Bodley emphasises that, in order to make this energy revolution a reality, there are important factors to be considered which include:

• Strong leadership and championship
• Strategic planning
• An enabling environment
• Access to financing
• Human capital development

As the ECCU navigates an era of unprecedented global shifts, the energy revolution can assist with the ECCB's "Big Push" agenda to double our economies' GDP by 2030.
