Electricity Sector
The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) is responsible for regulating the generation, transmission, distribution, and supply of electricity for the state of Grenada. The aim is to ensure the delivery of safe, affordable, and reliable electricity while promoting transparency, efficiency, and sustainability across the sector. In keeping with national development goals, the PURC also plays a leading role in advancing Renewable Energy (RE), promoting Energy Efficiency (EE), and encouraging Energy Conservation (EC) practices. These efforts support Grenada’s clean energy transition and help build a more sustainable, resilient electricity sector for the future.
