Barbados Renewable Energy: A Sunny Future
The island nation of Barbados is pursuing ambitious goals to transition its electricity sector to sources like solar, wind, and bioenergy. This involves deploying photovoltaic systems, exploring
Continue reading → Barbados continues to maintain a leadership position in solar energy within the Caribbean. Building on a successful Renewable Energy Rider program which has seen 9MW of distributed solar PV installed, the electricity market has finally opened up to independent power producers (IPPs) to develop utility scale solar projects.
Blue Circle Energy has over 40 solar PV Community Solar Gardens under development in Barbados, ranging in size from 250kW to 5MW. The project sites are distributed throughout the island, are located in each of Barbados' 11 parishes, and are sited and scaled to integrate with the community's natural and agricultural heritage.
One of the biggest, if not the biggest hurdle to further solar PV penetration in Barbados is the upfront cost of a system. When you think about the fact that the cost is essentially the prepayment of 25-30 years worth of electricity it makes sense that the price is “high”. If you could purchase a Continue reading →
Now a very similar model is available in Barbados which allows Barbadians to own solar panels within an operating solar project and thereby earn solar passive income for 25 Continue reading → Getting involved in the funding of the global solar power transition has never been easier.
