Despite progress, Suriname is navigating its institutional and operational capacity in the reforms. Progress is being made, and Suriname launched its Electricity Sector Plan (ESP) 2025–2044 on May 15th, 2025. The NDC sets an unconditional target to achieve over 35% renewable energy in the national energy mix by 2030.
Suriname is navigating a challenging phase in its energy transition. As of 2024, approximately 48% of the country’s electricity was generated from hydropower (754.5 GWh), with the remainder supplied by heavy fuel oil-based power plants.
This energy mix highlights both opportunity and urgency: while Suriname benefits from abundant natural resources, it remains significantly reliant on fossil fuels and centralized systems. The national grid of the electricity sector in Suriname is segmented into two main systems: EPAR and ENIC, along with a series of smaller interior grids.
In February 2025, Suriname officially launched its Green Development Strategy 2025 – 2050, which is a long-term roadmap for sustainable development.
