On 1 and 2 October 2019, the Espace Régional du Raizet was the venue for the kick-off technical meeting of the ETC cooperation project supported by the Regional Council of Guadeloupe in association with OECS, ADEME and BRGM in the scope of the Caribbean INTERREG programme.

At OECS level, tertiary buildings account for 53% of electricity consumption, representing an average 8% increase over the past five years.

The BRGM has successfully deployed an electro-magnetic survey with current injection to limit the urban-noise impact on the measurements.

As part of the effort to decarbonise the transport sector, in March 2021 the Regional Council of Guadeloupe began drawing up a roadmap for the development of electric mobility in Guadeloupe: the Zero-Emission Vehicle Development Scheme (SDVP).

At OECS level, energy consumption in the transport sector (road, air and maritime modes) accounts for 40 to 67% of fossil-fuel imports. Nevertheless, ambitious goals are in place in most countries to significantly reduce this ratio. In this context, clearly the development of electric mobility on the islands of the Caribbean must be discussed.
