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.
These averages make Barbados well-positioned to utilize wind and solar energy compared to the rest of the world. Barbados also has the ability to use the ocean not only for energy produced by water but for installing offshore wind turbines. The ocean provides stronger wind regimes.
Solar panels are seen more and more frequently across Barbados. Similar to the ubiquitous solar water heater on Barbadian rooftops, the Government of Barbados is fully committed to the idea of renewable energy and solar PV, thereby preparing the country for even more substantial growth in this sector.
The focus is on building solar photovoltaics for both residential and commercial purposes. Barbados is also interested in growing wind, waste, biomass and ocean and wave energy in order to modernize its energy grid while cutting costs for energy imports and creating jobs.
The focus of the Ministry is to advance legislation, policy and programmes to give life to Government''s stated policy of transitioning Barbados to the world''s first 100% green energy and
