Mr. Ellsworth Dacon, Director of the Energy Unit in the Prime Minister’s Office, disclosed, while delivering remarks at the opening of a two-day conference on Electric Mobility, that 90% of this country’s energy supply comes from fossil fuels, with over 50% of the fuel imports being utilised in the transportation industry.
Mr. Dacon said that the introduction of measures to conserve and increase the efficiency of energy use would have long-term economic benefits for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
He also highlighted that the workshop focused mainly on E-Mobility, which is seen as one of the most promising ways towards supporting renewable energy globally.
The two-day Electric Mobility Readiness Assessment Conference was attended by local and regional stakeholders, who discussed the findings of an evaluation on the testing of Electric and Hybrid vehicles.
