Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie has announced that the Government of the Virgin Islands remains committed to strengthening the Territory’s energy supply and reducing its carbon footprint.

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 United Kingdom through the Governor’s Office is stepping up its commitment to supporting a greener BVI.

I am happy to be here this morning.

This is indeed a special moment, as today’s contract signing signals progress with renewable energy in the Virgin Islands. What better place to start such an eco-friendly initiative than Anegada?

I consider it a sacred duty for a Premier to keep citizens informed of what their elected Government is doing, and hence I have been holding to this promise.

The public is invited to tune in to the handover ceremony for the Bregado Flax Educational Centre Secondary Division Solar Renewable System on Wednesday, January 27 at 9:30 a.m.

The Government of the Virgin Islands has received an Organic Photovoltaics Tree (OPTree) or Solar Tree to assist with its Green Energy initiative.

Premier and Minister of Finance Honourable Andrew A. Fahie said: “During the 2020 Budget Address delivered on 19 November 2019 under the theme: Transformation for Resilience and Sustainability, your Government stated clearly that one of its vision is to have the BVI 60% renewable energy by 2030. 

​Mr Speaker, over the past 16 months, as a Government, we have been committed to ‘Good Governance’ and I find it important to make this statement on renewable energy for Anegada.

I would first like to apologize for the length of my presentation this morning as the relevant subject matter is not only very important to the Territory, but as the old adage goes, in order to know where you are going you also need to know where you came from.
