Abstract

Renewably powered electric mobility is an ideal fit for the Caribbean islands potentially providing numerous benefits – ecologically as well as economically. However, progress of transitioning the islands’ energy and mobility systems is slow. A joint project between the Energy Unit of the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, GIZ, and Siemens AG with support of GEF UNDP PACES developed a common understanding of a large set of stakeholders regarding the structures needed for the introduction of renewably powered electric mobility on Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The aim is to transition from 100% fossil to 100% electrically driven mobility and at the same time from 85% fossil to 100% renewable electricity generation – the pursued stakeholder alignment approach and the transition roadmap are presented in the paper and could serve as an example and blue print for other Caribbean islands.
