3.1. Intensify the diversification of generation mix and develop the potential of Grenada's indigenous energy resources (geothermal, wind, solar), increasing the share of electricity generated by renewable energy sources, in conjunction with the pledged climate mitigation efforts and the gradual phasing out of fossil fuels 3.1.a.
Grenada receives energy subsidies through preferential prices charged by the state-owned company CEL (Comisión Hidroeléctrica del Río Lempa). The subsidies are included within the account of the nonfinancial public sector budget. Grenada is a net fuel importer, with oil imports accounting for about 25 percent of total exports in 2004–13, or 6.4 percent of its GDP.
Electricity. Grenada has established a legal framework for the accelerated development of the supply of electricity from renewable energy, through the Electricity Act No19 of 2016 (amended in 2017) and the PURC Act No20 of 2016 (amended in 2017). The electricity subsector is currently under transformation.
Governance and institutional reforms play a central role in the development of Grenada's energy sector: affective functional institutions working in coordination are a key ingredient for the successful deployment of sustainable energy, ensuring the adequate and transparent allocation of funds to achieve the policies.
