This report focuses on the role that national policy makers will play in this transformation process. The main challenge being that there is not a single roadmap or technology that provides the solution.

It is therefore very important that policy makers work together with generators, local system operators and electricity suppliers to collectively design the future.
This report analyzes in detail the potential contribution to the island tourism sector of four renewable energy technologies (RETs):
Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2014 is one of the most comprehensive studies yet made on the renewable energy price revolution in the power sector. Its findings are striking. Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in 2014 cost three-quarters less than in 2009, while wind turbine prices declined by almost a third over the same period. The cost of electricity from utility-scale PV systems has fallen by around half since 2010.
