The BVI possesses the perfect climate for solar and wind power–alternative energy sources–and is making great strides to become greener.
With this eco-friendly approach, specific islands–Peter Island, Cooper Island, Norman Island, Guana Island, Moskito Island, Neckar Island, Eustatia Island, Scrub Island, Bellamy Cay and Little Jost Van Dyke–in the BVI have converted to sustainable energy sources, gradually bringing the region closer to the determined goal of utilising it as primary power source.
