A ray of sunlight for Bermuda's stalled solar industry.
The recent announcement from BELCo that they are ready to move ahead with Net-metering was welcomed by Greenrock. There has been much discussion of this issue in public and it is good to finally see some activity and the legal framework coming into place to allow us to contribute to the environment in a positive way.
You will be allowed to install a system of up to 10KW on this price basis. A 10KW system is enough for an average family home (you would generate approx 1000-1500 Kwh/month). On this basis, you would be able to repay your investment in renewable technology a 7-10 years and could then expect to receive free electricity for a further 15+ years from this point, as well as reducing carbon emission by up to 10 tons annually.

Energy is going off trackAre we moving in the right direction with our energy planning? If this question was asked five years ago, we would probably say quite easily, 'No.' There was a complete disconnect between Belco's apparent business strategy based on increasing or not increasing consumption of fossil fuels, and any articulated energy strategy or regulation being proposed by Government.

Last Friday, I went to see Greenrock's first screening of Food, Inc. at BUEI. It's a movie that "lifts the veil" on the American food industry and a must see for anyone that aspires to be an intelligent and ethical consumer. The film makes the point that the way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years, than in the last 10,000 – and that although food has never been so cheap (an arguable benefit), it has also never been so nutrient poor and calorie-rich.
