Antigua and Barbuda is moving closer to its goal of 20 per cent renewables by 2020 with a new 150 kWp solar PV project. Clean energy provider PV Energy Limited will install the PV system in the west of Barbuda, on the Antigua Public Utility Authority’s (APUA) property next to the airport. The grid-connected 150kWp solar energy project, diligently planned a adjusted to the site and weather conditions on the island, will generate about 230 MWh of solar energy per year.
“Once again, the implementation of this significant renewable energy project emphasizes Antigua and Barbuda’s pioneering role in terms of becoming one of the greenest electricity sector in the whole of the Caribbean”, states Mr. Andre Matthias, Electricity Business Unit Manager of APUA. “The ground-mounted 150 kWp sun2live solar power generation solution on Barbuda will further minimize the government’s reliance on expensive and polluting fossil fuels.”
