Barriers for energy sector
Legal
framework
and regulatory EBS is the only electricity
provider. There is a dependency
on the willingness of EBS to
accept another player in the
energy market. Energy supply is
subsidized, without incentives for
increasing efficiency or
evaluation of energy costs.
Uncertainty with regard to
tariffs for renewable energy
Poor maintenance
operation practice
Slow adaptation rate
Description of the barrier
and Renewable energy projects often
fail because of poor maintenance.
Lack of data and capacity to
develop sustainable renewable
energy project
Complexity of planning and
implementation
of public
transportation projects, which
It often takes time before people
are used to a new system. The
adaptation problem often occurs
during the implementation phase
of the new technology.
The lack of data on different
aspects of renewable energy
sources and lack of technical
knowledge regarding the
application of new systems often
results in the slow
implementation of these systems.
Encouraging measures
production of electricity from
renewable energy sources,
especially solar, wind, and
biomass, mainly for following
reasons:
Reduction of fossil fuel
import
Reduction of air pollution
Promotion of modern
technologies
Legislation should be developed
/ changed to support the use of
renewable energy sources. GoS
stimulates
introduction of
biofuel into the energy mix of
Suriname creating economic
incentive measures for the sale
of renewable energy to EBS and
by creating related feed-in tariff
and licensing arrangements for
renewable energy generation.
Proper training programs for
maintenance workers as well as
operators conducted during the
commissioning phase of the
project, and yearly refreshment
trainings. Training costs and
maintenance costs should be
calculated in yearly budget.
| Adequate support through
(governmental) regulations and
awareness campaigns.
Encourage training of new
professionals in this
field
through enrollment in technical
schools and the University,
focusing on the use of new
technologies and research into
new options.
Impose a differential tax on
vehicles based on
qualification of vehicle
