Energy Development
in Island Nations
 |
| Ha'Penny Beach October Sunset |
December 12, University of Virgin
Islands, St. Thomas
Almost
three years ago, the U.S. Virgin Islands, with the promised help of the
National Renewable Energy Laboratory, set out to reduce fossil fuel consumption
60 percent by the year 2025. The islands have since made significant progress.
Energy
project developers will give the public an update on that progress at this day-long
workshop. Speakers will also address upcoming Initiatives of the Caribbean
Green Technology Center and the Water and Power Authority’s ViEnergize Business
Services Unit.
To
attend please RSVP to Lucy Estephane at lucy.estephane@eo.vi.gov or call
713.8436, St. Croix or Molissa Brin, 714-8436, St. Thomas.
If
you are a vendor or resident who would like to highlight a project completed in
the last three years, contact Don Buchanan at don.buchanan@eo.vi.gov. The Energy Office is producing a slideshow
that will highlight the efforts in the private sector.
When you write a blog post and no one comments, it feels like no one cares. But I do care. The first house my husband and I built in St John in 1995 we were off grid and happily using solar for lights and fridge. I am living in Florida now but will move back some day soon and I like to keep up on the off grid progress in the Islands. A discussion section would be great.
