To date, only 11.8 per cent of the targeted 750 megawatts of renewable energy capacity required over the next eight years have been connected to the national grid.Word of this has come from Minister of Energy Kerrie Symmonds who dismissed any concern of any grid capacity constraints as Barbados aims to achieve 100 per cent reliance on renewable energy by 2030.At the same time, he called on the relevant government departments and the Barbados Light and Power Company (BLPC) to be more transparent with data to help potential investors in the sector make critical decisions.He made the comments on Wednesday during the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) renewable energy forum and expo at the Hilton Barbados Resort, which was held under the theme Barbados’ 2030 Renewable Energy Vision: Where are We?
