  1. The Commonwealth of Dominica has some of the world’s highest electricity costs due to its dependence on imported fossil fuels for power generation.

    Under the country’s Low Carbon Climate Resilience Strategy (LCCRS) of 2012, the Draft National Sustainable Energy Plan (NSEP), the National Resilience Development Strategy (NRDS) and the recent Sustainable and Renewable Energy Policy (S-REP), the Government of Dominica has outlined some of its plans to assure a more sustainable Energy Sector.

    The Low Carbon Development Project (LCDP) complements these ongoing efforts, with the main  objective being  the removal of the policy, technical and financial barriers to energy-efficient applications and solar photovoltaic technologies in Dominica’s streets, outdoor areas and public buildings nationwide for further scale up.

    The LCDP hopes to achieve this object through three (3) Main Components:

    • Component 1: Institutional and technical knowledge, awareness and capacity for EE applications and renewable energy technologies (RETs)

    • Component 2: Policy measures and enforcement of EE applications and RETs

    • Component 3: Financing options and mechanisms for EE applications and RET diffusion

    One of the expected outcomes is improved knowledge, awareness and institutional capacity on Energy Efficient (EE) application and Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs), and solar PV through demonstrations of their deployment in Dominica, including various options for financing, namely, EPC (Energy Performance Contracting) arrangements.  

    In this regard, the project seeks to engage a qualified Energy Finance Expert to develop a financial mechanism for roll-out of pilot RE and EE, installations.. These details are listed more clearly in the “Duties and Responsibilities” section of this document.  

     This individual will report directly to the National Project Coordinator (NPC), and may consult with the UNDP Deputy Resident Representative in Barbados, and/or National Project Director, in case of conflict or delicate issues. The individual is expected to work closely with the Chief Technical Adviser (CTA), and the Low Carbon Officer.
