UPDATE: A successful tour of the Trents PV site and Lamberts Wind site was undertaken on 20th October, 2016.  I can confirm that all who attended were impressed.

UPDATE: After a very successful seminar held on 23rd September, 2016 and attended by over 80 persons, please see the presentation documents which served as guidelines only:

• A 100% renewable energy vision for Barbados – Tom Rogers – Sept 2015
• Implementing Utility Scale RE Projects – The Local Experience – Johann Greaves and Andy Gill – Sept 2016

DESCRIPTION: This seminar will examine the opportunities for renewable energy in Barbados.  It will look at projects already in the pipeline and future potential.  It will explore what factors need to be in place to maximize development.

In particular it will consider what aspects of the planning system need to be developed or improved to assist in the transition to a renewable future.

 

This workshop will provide an opportunity to find out more about the updating of the Physical Development Plan for Barbados.

Urban Strategies Inc. (the consultants the Government has engaged to prepare the Plan) will outline the process and identify emerging issues that they will address.

You will have a chance to provide your views on what the Plan should cover.
