Today, energy security and global climate change are two major issues affecting people and the environment around the world (IEA, 2010). These issues are highly integrated with each other, and mitigating global climate change without affecting energy security is becoming a significant challenge for many governments and policymakers in the twenty-first century (Brown & Sovacool, 2011). In recent years, energy security has increased to become a major concern in many jurisdictions with increasing energy demand, rising energy costs, and issues related to energy production and supply (IEA, 2010). According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy security can be described as “uninterrupted physical availability at an affordable price, while respecting environmental concerns” (IEA, 2011). Global energy demand is growing rapidly with increasing human population, urbanization, and modernization around the world (Asif & Muneer, 2008). Over the past two decades, global primary energy consumption has increased by 45% and is expected to continue to grow by 39% over the next two decades (BP, 2011). Today, fossil fuels – particularly oil, gas and coal, are the main primary energy sources for meeting the world's energy needs. In 2008, almost 81% of global primary energy needs were met by fossil fuels, of which oil (33.2%); coal - 27% and natural gas - 21.1% [ref]. Fossil fuels account for the largest share of the global primary energy supply, and the remainder is covered by hydroelectric, nuclear, biomass, geothermal, wind and solar energy. According to the World Energy Outlook (WEO) Golden Age of Gas (GAS) 2011 scenario, fossil fuel supplies will continue to be the dominant energy sources and will account for more than half of the increase in … half of the paper. .....to ensure consistency of the analysis.• Fair Allocation: In this approach, it is assumed that the wind electricity generated is equally allocated to all EVs regardless of individual needs.• Demand Allocation: In this approach , it is assumed that the generated wind electricity is allocated to each EV according to its respective demand, such that it is preferable to charge EVs with higher demand than to charge EVs with lower demand. This research also considers the effect of introducing electric vehicles for weekday commuting purposes in passenger transport and discusses the overall carbon impact of commuting; the results are extrapolated for different commuting distances. This research work used Prince Edward Island, specifically the city of Summerside, as a case study, but the general approach can be applied to other cities, provinces or regions.
