The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) government recently formally launched a green energy project that will have a long-term positive impact on the people and the environment of TCI. The EU-funded RESEMBID project - "Transitioning Towards Green Energy in the Turks and Caicos Islands" – was officially launched on November 29, 2022.
In Turks and Caicos Islands, where the cost of electricity is high due to reliance on imported fossil fuels, renewable energy generation presents a significant opportunity for cost savings and sustainable development.
Energie opwekken met zonnepanelen. Zonnepanelen zijn wellicht een van de bekendste methoden voor het opwekken van zelf stroom. Ze werken door zonne-energie om te zetten in elektriciteit via fotovoltaïsche
Men kan in ons land op verschillende manieren zelf energie produceren. In dit dossier wordt op een aantal manieren beschreven hoe je zelf energie kunt opwekken en wat hiervan de kosten
De zware gewichten worden met duurzaam opgewekte energie in een diepe schacht worden opgehesen. Als er later energie nodig is, laat je de gewichten zakken en kan door de draaiing van een spil die daardoor ontstaat, een generator worden aangedreven.
Waarom zelf elektriciteit opwekken? Zelf je stroom produceren betekent niet dat je altijd volledig in je energiebehoeften kan voorzien. Je produceert weliswaar volledig of gedeeltelijk de elektriciteit die je zelf
Zelf energie opwekken kan op heel veel verschillende manieren. Om het wat makkelijker voor je te maken hebben wij een aantal eenvoudige stappenplannen gemaakt. Je vindt een stappenplan voor het plaatsen van zonnepanelen, een

Solar-derived power is increasing in popularity, with many private installations visible throughout the country, especially on new Turks and Caicos villa projects. Several local companies specialize in both supply and installation of alternative energy systems. The FortisTCI electricity plant on Providenciales.
In the Turks and Caicos , all public electricity generation is run by Fortis TCI, a vertically integrated company that provides both power generation and distribution.
Separately, Atlantic Equipment and Power (AEP) acquired an exclusive license for South Caicos which is due to expire in 2036. For the Turks Islands of Grand Turk and Salt Cay, electricity generation was run by Turks and Caicos Utilities (TCU), a government-owned entity.
The electricity standard in the Turks and Caicos is 120v, 60Hz and U.S. style power plugs. Solar-derived power is increasing in popularity, with many private installations visible throughout the country, especially on new Turks and Caicos villa projects.
Fortis TCI announced in 2017 that 1 MW of solar capacity is scheduled to be installed in the islands via the utility company, which would include a 700 kW array on North Caicos and 300 kW throughout the other islands. These projects are ongoing. There are two approaches for persons wishing to install a solar array at their residence or business:
Fortis Turks and Caicos (FTCI), a subsidiary of Canadian utility holding company Fortis Inc., acquired P.P.C and AEP in 2006, and concluded an acquisition of TCU in 2012. Electricity is priced via two components: ‘Electric’ which includes generation and distribution, and ‘Fuel Factor’ which varies based on global fuel prices.
