A few weeks ago, in May 2026, OOCUR joined regulators from across the globe at the Regulatory Assistance Project’s inaugural Energy Regulatory Exchange in Old Windsor, London — and it was a remarkable gathering.
Conversations spanned continents, but the common thread was
unmistakable: regardless of geography, the challenges facing utility regulators are fundamentally the same. Questions of independence, affordability, energy transition, and institutional capacity do not respect borders.
OOCUR was proud to be represented by a strong Caribbean delegation:
Damien Harrigan — Public Utilities Commission, Anguilla Yvonne Nicholson — Office of Utilities Regulation, Jamaica Jonathan Hudson — Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority, Bahamas Mary Polius and Albert Fregis — National Utilities Regulatory Commission, St. Lucia Adrienne Green — Public Utilities Regulatory Commission, Grenada and Marsha Atherley-Ikechi, Ph.D. — Executive Director, OOCUR
What this exchange confirmed is that OOCUR’s members are not operating at the margins of global regulatory practice. They are part of it — and now connected to a broader network of peers with whom we can collaborate, brainstorm, and build.
The Caribbean’s regulatory community is showing up on the world stage.
We are grateful to the Regulatory Assistance Project for creating this space.
