The Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme is implementing the GEF funded project that requires the services of two consultants. The Project is entitled “Low Carbon Development Path (LCDP): Promoting energy efficient applications and solar photovoltaic technologies in streets, outdoor areas and public buildings in island communities nationwide”.

The Commonwealth of Dominica has some of the world’s highest electricity costs due to ageing electricity generation infrastructure and its almost complete dependence on imported fossil fuels for power generation. This jeopardises the country’s potential for sustainable development and undermines its image as the “nature island”. Past attempts to strengthen low carbon development have not taken root due to knowledge, regulatory, institutional and financial barriers. The current development trajectory of Dominica, especially with regards to meeting growing energy demand, is not sustainable with the consequences of increasing poverty in the country.

********The Deadline is 02 January 2018***************
