(1888PressRelease) June 13, 2013 - (Kingston) - Solamon Energy Corp announced today its intention to attend the Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum, slated to be held at the Westin Resort in Aruba, October 9th - 11th 2013. Previously, in 2010, Solamon executives attended CREF and participated in many intense forums and strategic discussions related especially to financing solar energy across the Caribbean basin.

Since that time, many local leaders still refer to the implementation of solar energy as an exotic alternative to existing oil-based solutions, says Solamon President Jay Yeo. "It'll be interesting to see if any of those discussions bore fruit these past few years.

"We understand this event and others similar to it provide an opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas with influencers and administrators over a few days," explains Yeo. "Having worked with many groups and organizations in the region, we have found CREF to be an excellent venue that continues to bring together the many diverse Caribbean decision makers, and talk about creative solutions together and getting things started within their own unique process structure."

Attended by high ranking government officials, business and senior utility executives, CREF attracts hundreds of delegates from both public and private sectors. The forum is apparently set to highlight emerging opportunities in the region and foster even greater discussion on green technologies. Yeo is undecided as to who he'll bring with him from among executives working within the Caribbean market: Ainsley Brown, Christian Giles, Steve Kuiack, Nicolas DelValle and Jeremy Stephen.

Discussing energy security opportunities in Latin America and the Caribbean at a Hearing before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs held April 11, Eric Farnsworth, VP Council of the Americas, reiterated that it is a vital interest of the United States that his country be energy self-sufficient in the future, and his government supports the development of all renewable energy options.

"Last year we were too busy to attend CREF," Yeo concludes, "but we all recognize the importance of this event and others like it occurring around the world that enable us to meet key decision makers and qualify buyers as expeditiously as possible, and enabling decisions. Because it's a critical market for us, I'm sure we will be well represented again."

Solamon Energy typically offers a ground-mounted solar array of integrated photovoltaic cells over a package of land called the Apollo Acre™. The company now also develops custom solutions with local partners to provide roof-mounted and parking lot systems that are easily augmented by micro wind turbine technology and other innovative features to supply renewable energy.
