The Energy Department within the Ministry of Communications Works Labour and Energy is thrilled to announce the extension of two pivotal energy efficient projects: The Energy Efficient Lighting and Environmentally Friendly Lighting Disposal on Montserrat, and the Post-COVID Cost Reduction through Energy Efficiency, now extended until December 2024. Both projects are supported by RESEMBID and funded by the European Union and are collectively valued at EUR €592,351 (XCD $1,691,795).
Launched in April 2023, both initiatives signify a concerted effort towards bolstering energy efficiency across Montserrat. The Energy Efficient Lighting project aims to address the present energy demands of Montserratian citizens by enhancing energy consumption efficiency within the residential sector. To date, the project has successfully distributed 5217 energy efficient light bulbs and responsibly disposed of 4218 old bulbs.
Similarly, the Post-COVID Cost Reduction through Energy Efficiency project targets mitigating the escalating costs of energy consumed by Government of Montserrat properties. Through meticulous energy audits conducted on 13 government departments, the groundwork has been laid for energy efficient retrofits slated for implementation in late 2024.
Expressing his elation at the project extension, Dr. The Honourable Samuel Joseph, Minister for Energy, remarked:
Achieving 100% green energy for Montserrat by 2030 remains a cornerstone objective of the Ministry. Both projects significantly advance this agenda. I commend the tireless dedication of the Energy Department team and eagerly anticipate the culmination of these endeavors in December, propelling Montserrat towards a greener future. My sincere gratitude to the RESEMBID team for their collaborative efforts in supporting our clean energy aspirations.
Dr. The Honourable Samuel Joseph, Minister for Energy
Ms. Latoya Smith, Programme Manager for Sustainable Energy, RESEMBID, echoed sentiments of pride for Montserrat’s commitment to responsible energy usage, stating:
