Barbados is powering forward in its renewable energy transition, granting a 25-year generation license for a landmark 50-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) project. The license, awarded on May 19, 2025, is for a development at the Trents Plantation in St. Lucy, set to be operated by Renewable.
The solar portfolio will be spread across 50 sites throughout the island-state, adding to Barbados’ 30 MW solar portfolio and pushing the country closer toward being powered by 100% renewables by 2030. Jurchen Technology, a German-based manufacturer of racking and direct current (dc) cabling solar.
The Ministry is committed to developing a viable and competitive sustainable energy sector, through targeted and strategic renewable energy and energy conservation initiatives. The focus of the Ministry is to advance legislation, policy and programmes to give life to Government’s stated policy of.
In 2020 I wrote a review about the Sun Exchange, the world’s first peer-to-peer solar panel micro-leasing platform which powers solar projects primarily in South Africa. Now a very similar model is available in Barbados which allows Barbadians to own solar panels within an operating solar project.
A major surge in renewable energy investment is set to launch within weeks as the government fast-tracks its Energy Transition Investment Plan, a multibillion-dollar initiative projected to save the island $16 billion over the next decade and create thousands of green jobs, Minister of Foreign.
Barbados is making a major leap toward its 100% renewable energy by 2030 target with the launch of the Renewstable® Barbados (RSB) project, a pioneering green hydrogen power plant. Supported by the European Investment Bank (EIB), this initiative is led by HDF Energy and aims to increase th
The project, spanning 50 sites across the island-state, is a significant step towards achieving the goal of powering Barbados with 100% renewables by 2030, supplementing the existing 30 MW solar portfolio.
