EDITOR’S NOTE: Towards the middle of June, #infrastruCaribe started a series on renewable energy infrastructure in the Caribbean, in our edition 2021-06-18. We conclude that series in this newsletter. Four Caribbean countries are covered, namely: Guyana, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Cayman Islands. Please see our Twitter feed (@infrastruCaribe) for more.
Our headline, taken from OilNow, reads: “EIA Submitted for Guyana’s First Large-Scale Wind Farm”. Hope Energy Development (HED) Inc. — an international joint venture — has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the construction and operation of 16.8 MW wind farm in Guyana.
The 63 MW Wigton Windfarm — which sells to Jamaica’s exclusive operator of the national power grid under contract — made 20 percent more profit this financial year compared to the last. While in Puerto Rico, AES plans to decommission its coal-fired plants and replace them with solar plants by 2027.
In Cayman, ReGen — the company responsible for the George Town landfill — presented its plans for a waste-to-energy plant to the public, at what will be the first in a series a townhall meetings. Finally, Cayman Islands’ utility regulator is commissioning a study into the value of Cayman utilizing solar energy.
