How the team on Necker Island are preparing for a sustainable
Thankfully, island nations also possess abundant natural resources (such as wind and sun), which can be harnessed to provide low-cost, clean, affordable energy. The team on Necker Island (one of the most beautiful and sunny places on Earth) understand what a blessing these natural resources are when it comes to preparing for a sustainable future.
Necker Island goes solar
A year ago, Necker was announced as the ''demo island'' in the Carbon War Room Ten Island Renewable Challenge, in which Caribbean islands are attempting to end their reliance on fossil fuels.Now, we have made a major step forward in the challenge. Three weeks ago we turned on a new solar energy system consisting of 1232 photovoltaic solar panels in
