Workshop breakout sessions will focus on implementing key strategies identified for achieving a 60 percent reduction in fossil fuel consumption in the USVI by 2025.
For years Virgin Islands residents have been very concerned about the skyrocketing cost of utilities and have demanded that leaders take action to free them from total dependence on fossil fuels. Over the past year the VI DOE, WAPA, WMA and the Governor’s office have been working with NREL, EDIN, the Department of the Interior and other consultants to develop a comprehensive plan to achieve this goal. VI decision makers heard these cries of Virgin Islanders and are taking meaningful action to reduce the territory’s dependency on oil for energy.

In June 2010, EDIN-USVI announced the formation of five integrated working groups focused on specific challenges: Education and Workforce Development, Policy and Analysis, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, and Transportation. The working groups are comprised of USVI-based project partners and technical advisors with the NREL. The quarterly EDIN-USVI workshops provide an opportunity for the working groups to report on progress, network, and engage in face-to-face planning sessions.
Each quarter a workshop has been held to give stakeholders an opportunity to meet with EDIN partners and members of the U.S.
