ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA, Friday, May 06, 2016: The Ministry of Finance & Energy of Grenada in collaboration with the Latin American Energy Organization – OLADE and the Canadian Government are currently working on an Energy Planning Capacity Building Programme.
The aim of this project is to enhance the energy planning capabilities within OLADE’s member countries, particularly within their Energy Ministries or Energy Agencies as well as to develop new skills in the various aspects surrounding energy planning. As part of this programme, the collaborating organisations will implement an Energy Planning Manual.
This manual will provide guidance to all those responsible of the national energy policy and related regulatory framework in the short, medium and long term.
In this regard a workshop on Energy Planning Manual Induction will be held on Thursday, May 12th, 2016 at the Bureau of Standards Conference room, from 9:00 am-5:30 p.m. During this workshop the participants will discuss/ engage in:
- The planning process as an energy policy tool for the development of a sustainable energy sector;
- The development of energy scenarios and assumptions; and
- Energy forecasting process, methodology and tools.
In addition, the details of the different phases of the project, as well as the responsibilities and resultant benefits for the energy sector stakeholders will be presented.
