Case Studies
Delivering Measurable Impact Across Energy and Utility Sectors
From regulatory design to institutional strengthening, Elequa Advisory partners with governments, regulators, and multilateral agencies to turn policy ambition into on-the-ground results. Our approach is hands-on, our solutions are practical, and our impact endures. We don't just advise—we deliver frameworks that work and outcomes you can measure.
Below are selected highlights demonstrating our experience and impact across the Caribbean and international markets.
Barbados Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariffs
First resource-based renewable tariffs in the region
Our Founder and Managing Director played a key role in the development of Barbados’ renewable energy feed-in tariff structure, introducing a resource-based methodology that reflected the true cost and value of renewable generation. This framework supported investment in clean energy while maintaining fairness for consumers.
The implementation of these tariffs helped accelerate renewable energy adoption and provided a transparent mechanism for pricing, improving investor confidence and strengthening regulatory clarity within the energy sector. Since 2016, this work has positioned Barbados as the leader in renewable energy adoption in the Caribbean.”
Template Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Development
Improving efficiency and reducing negotiation timelines
Our Managing Director spearheaded the development of standardized Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) templates designed to streamline project development and clarify stakeholder responsibilities. These template PPAs drastically reduce negotiation timelines, significantly cut legal fees and planning costs, clarify roles and risk allocation, and give both utilities and independent power producers a bankable foundation on which to move projects forward faster.
By improving consistency and transparency in contract structures, this work supported faster project approvals and reduced regulatory uncertainty.
Storage Tariff Framework
Supporting grid stability and renewable integration
As renewable penetration increased, the need for energy storage solutions became more critical. We supported the development of tariff structures that enabled the integration of storage technologies while maintaining system reliability and cost efficiency.
This framework allowed utilities to better manage peak demand, improve grid stability, improve reliability and increase the share of renewable energy in the generation mix.
Commonwealth Secretariat Engagement
Assessment of energy frameworks across seven Caribbean nations
Elequa Advisory participated in regional assessments examining energy policies, regulatory structures, and institutional capacity across multiple Caribbean countries. These assessments provided governments and regional organizations with practical recommendations to strengthen regulatory frameworks and improve sector performance.
The work contributed to policy dialogue and informed decision-making at both national and regional levels.
IDB Barbados Energy Dossier
Technical research and sector analysis
Elequa Advisory co-created the energy sector dossier for Barbados, providing detailed analysis of market conditions, regulatory structures, and future development opportunities. This research supported stakeholders in understanding sector trends and identifying priority areas for investment and reform.
The dossier served as a valuable resource for policymakers, investors, and development institutions involved in the country’s energy transition.
Water Sector Resilience
We co-developed policy recommendations to strengthen climate resilience across Barbados’ water and wastewater sector. Through comprehensive sector analysis and stakeholder engagement spanning government, private sector, academia, and civil society, we delivered actionable guidance designed to inform national legislation and institutional reform.
The resulting framework enables Barbados to better anticipate climate risks, operationalise resilience strategies, strengthen water governance, and unlock new investment pathways—positioning the sector to deliver safe, reliable, sustainable water services in the face of a changing climate.
