THE NETHERLANDS CLEAN ENERGY FOR EU ISLANDS
British Virgin Islands Specialized in Solar Energy
The Government of the Virgin Islands has signed an agreement for the Anegada Microgrid project, which will introduce renewable solar energy to the island.. The Government of the Virgin Islands has signed an agreement for the Anegada Microgrid project, which will introduce renewable solar energy to the island.. ATEC BVI facilitates the transition to renewable energy in the British Virgin Islands and the wider Caribbean region. We are local leaders and pioneers in the development of the micro-grid energy production field.. Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country's land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across the classes (for comparison).. The Government of the Virgin Islands has signed an agreement for the Anegada Microgrid project, which will introduce renewable solar energy to the island. The agreement was signed through the BVI Electricity Corporation (BVIEC).. This project hopes to demonstrate to investors and users in the industry the commercially viability of solar energy. It will also enable further growth in the renewable energy market, supporting employment and skills development opportunities for the local community. [pdf]
