Energy experts will be convergin at the Bjerget House, 56-58 Hill Street, Christiansted, St. Croix, USVI on June 11. This workshop will focus on ongoing projects and strategies for achieving 60% clean energy by 2025 as part of the Energy Development in Island Nations (EDIN) Virgin Islands (USVI) project launched in 2010 with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The EDIN partners will meet with members of the USVI Energy Action Team, project working groups, local VIenergize Partners, and other community clean energy champions at the U.S. Viking/Bjerget House on St Croix. The historic site is receiving energy efficiency upgrades this spring, thanks to a DOE grant administered by the Virgin Islands Energy Office as part of the Wise Investments Save Energy (WISE) program.
