 Abstract

This study emphasizes on how the future power demand in Suriname can be met with sustainable energy sources. The scope of the power demand is limited to the electricity supply for residential and industry as well as for the road transportation sector in case of electrification of vehicles.
Moreover, through the unbundling of the energy sector, assessment of renewable energy potentials and the application of the backcasting framework by Quist, policy packages are developed. Finally, a transition pathway for the selected scenario is developed, together with the recommendations on how to achieve the desired vision.
