The Government of Montserrat Invests in a Solar Photovoltaics
The Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contractor, SALT Energy, employed local subcontractors to install and wire an 824-solar panel PV system across five slopes of three buildings. The integration of this new power source means the citizens of Montserrat can expect greater savings on their electricity bills, greater fuel savings
Cabinet Wants Montserrat to be Powered by Electricity Generated
Currently, Montserrat has an installed Solar Photovoltaic capacity of 1MW which is being fed into the island''s electrical grid. The peak power demand on the island is 2.3MW, hence the installed Solar PV system represents 44% of the island''s peak demand.
Powering Montserrat with Solar Energy
With the Government of Montserrat''s Solar PV farm now producing 1MW of power, could harnessing the sun be the way forward for a 100% renewable energy-powered nation? The EDF11-funded solar farm is split between a 750kWh plant in Lookout and a 250kWh system atop the government buildings in Shinlands.
Montserrat College of Art Makes a Major Investment in Solar
Beverly — Montserrat College of Art will begin a greening of the campus with a vast, multi-building solar array beginning this summer. The project will generate the bulk of the electric energy needed to run the campus, and result in beneficial solar incentives to the college over the life of the program of about $1.3 million.
Solar Energy Project Progress – MCWEL – Government of
The solar PV system was successfully installed and commissioned by the Salt Energy Company and handed over to the Government of Montserrat in March of 2019. The units were installed on three buildings; MCW workshop, the Brades power Station and the Factory Shell Buildings commonly referred to as the Montobacco building.
