In April, the Energy Solutions program conducted several outreach sessions to gather community insights on how to best utilize the Innovations Program funding. Based on this feedback, a new initiative will launch later this month in partnership with the Virgin Islands Energy Office. This initiative will focus on assisting entities that serve the most vulnerable populations in our community.

We are excited to collaborate with the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority and the Virgin Islands Energy Office to enhance the electrical power system for the people of the Virgin Islands.
