According to Minister of Natural
Resources and the Environment in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA)
Hon. Carlisle Powell, a number of persons will be in attendance at the
opening ceremony, including representatives from the Organization of
American States (OAS), The Caribbean Renewable Energy Programme based
in St. Lucia and a representative from the Government of Anguilla.
Minister Powell told the Department of
Information that renewable energy projects on Nevis will continue to
attract regional and international attention as the Nevis Reformation
Party (NRP)- led Government continued to work tirelessly to ensure that
the island benefited from sustainable energy - with wind and geothermal.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, Mr. Ernie Stapleton said the Wind farm was just one step closer to Nevis becoming 100 percent reliant on green energy in the supply of electricity to the residents and businesses of Nevis. He also stated that refreshments and a live band will also be on hand at the opening.
