• Take advantage of national expertise and know-how as far as possible for the development and delivery of energy services. Where importation of resources is required, provide incentives for the use of the most readily available technology. • Ensure that the measures taken in pursuing this energy policy are in line with the requirements and legal implications of the Caribbean Single Market Economy (CSME). In terms of policy expression, the national energy policy and action plan address planning and management, power sector, renewable energy, petroleum sector, transportation, and energy efficiency. 3.7.19.1 Planning and Management The policy objective is “[e]fficient and well-coordinated planning and management activities to achieve sustainable supply and use of energy Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines 2009).” The policy provisions could be further strengthened by ensuring the research, development, and exploitation of new and renewable energy resources and energy conservation measures leading to increasingly efficient and sustainable energy services and a more competitive economy (Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines 2010, p. 25); instituting reporting requirements for high-consuming sectors; and developing mechanisms to ensure inter- and intra-institutional cooperation. Action Plan: The government also should clearly indicate the roles, responsibilities, and mandates of those entities it has identified as being responsible for energy issues, and should institute mechanisms to ensure a defined chain or hierarchy of responsibility, and inter- and intra-agency cooperation. The establishment of an independent regulatory commission to exercise regulatory authority over the energy sector also must be included. Further, in addition to the requirements of the Office of Statistics, reporting requirements from energy audits also should be included. The AP, unfortunately, does not offer specific, measurable targets and has a few weaknesses. Under Action 3, for example, the Ministry of Education is required to “propose a strategy for the implementation of capacity building activities at all levels . . . it will provide financial support for advanced professional training. . . .” Although the timeframe indicated is “short”( i.e., 1–5 years), it doesn’t provide a proposed time frame for when the proposal should be completed, or a proposed time for approval and the commencement of implementation. 3.7.19.2 Power Sector The policy goal here is “safe, efficient, reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly electricity generation and supply for all parts of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines 2009).” Although the policy statements are sound, it also should include conducting monitoring and evaluation of energy-generation facilities, public and private; and “establishing mechanisms that in tandem allow for small scale decentralized electricity generation and fair access to the transmission/distribution system” Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (2009). Action Plan: The goal of the AP is to reduce projected increase in peak demand by 5% by 2015 and 10% by 2020, and to strive to reduce power losses to a total of 7% by 2015 and 5% by 2020. Here, the target is specific and measurable. Another example of specific measurable targets is Action 11, which provides that “every 2 years,” VINLEC will design and review a 10-year planning prospect for the electricity sector. 98
