A new energy desk that will seek energy efficiency by developing a national energy policy and sustainable energy plan for the country has been established in the implementation office within the Prime Minister’s office. Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer first made the announcement in his New Year’s address to the nation. PM Spencer said that he would be taking definitive steps to address the issue of energy sustainability.
Having taken into consideration the importance of involving a cross-section of stakeholders in the formulation of the National Energy Policy, the Energy Desk is inviting individuals interested in serving on the National Energy Task Force to forward their CVs along with a one-page document describing their vision for the deployment of sustainable energy solutions in the community. All expressions of interest or requests for further information should be submitted via e-mail to energy desk.anupmo@gmail.com. The deadline for the submission is February 12, 2010. The National Energy Task Force will play an essential role in advising the government on prospective energy-related research and development projects, and in identifying and championing key activities geared toward increasing energy efficiency and conservation.
