In February 2025, the Just Energy Transition (JET) Seed Funding Initiative was launched in Guyana by the United Nations, with funding from the Joint Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Fund. The initiative is being implemented with technical support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) and Ministry of Labour’s Board of Industrial Training (BIT), focused on enhancing sustainable development by promoting the transition to alternative clean energy and electric mobility.

As part of the initiative, three solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging stations will be installed. Under the initiative, a technical training programme has been launched for electrical and mechanical technicians. The programme is designed to equip local professionals with the necessary skills needed to support the repair and maintenance of EVs and the expansion of Guyana’s clean and renewable energy infrastructure. Participants will be trained to become certified trainers in Electric Vehicle (EV) Maintenance and Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems.

The application deadline for the programme has been extended to September 19, 2025.
