Interest in energy systems growing
With the island''s fuel import bill still hovering between $500 and $800 million annually, Williams said it will be up to everyone to help drive down that price tag and build out the renewable energy sector to help the island achieve its goal of 100 per cent reliance on renewable energy sources by 2033.

Barbados | Global Sustainable Energy Islands Initiative
Barbados is a Caribbean island located northeast of Venezuela. Sugar cane was historically been the main economic activity of the country until being gradually replaced by tourism and manufacturing in the 1990s, which is currently responsible for about ⅘ of the island''s GDP. Offshore financial and informational services are an important component of its exports revenues.
Islands need resilient power systems more than ever.
Small and remote islands, which often have abundant renewable energy resources, have the potential to become hubs of clean energy innovation. While a study performed on 36 small island economies showed
