The Energy Unit is tasked with promoting policies and programmes that will contribute towards reducing the country’s dependence on imported fuel through the promotion of sustainable energy and energy efficient technologies. The Energy Unit has continued to manage an extensive portfolio of sustainable energy and energy efficiency projects, with a particular focus on solar PV, both on the mainland and within the Grenadines.

The increase in natural disasters observed throughout recent years has highlighted the need for increased resilience in the energy sector as well as other critical public sectors throughout St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The Energy Unit remains firm in its mandate to seek out new, innovative ways to strengthen resilience not only within the electricity sector but also throughout other sectors such as health, national security, education and transportation within St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
