Residents of the following areas and surrounding communities are asked to note that during the period June 26-July 15, 2025 enumerators with official ID badges and authorization letter will be in your community conducting a short 15-minute survey about the proposed installation of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS):
Woodbourne Park and Foursquare, St. Philip, Coverley Gardens & Terrace, and Charnocks Christ Church, Husbands, St. James and Hothersal Turning, St. Michael.
This project, led by the Barbados National Energy Company Limited (BNECL) and funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), is designed to strengthen our island's energy security.
A BESS stores renewable energy from sources like solar and wind when demand is low and supplies it to the national grid when needed by the Barbados Light & Power Company Limited. This improves grid stability and reliability and enhances Barbados' resilience and sustainability. We thank you for your cooperation and look forward to bringing you a stronger, more sustainable energy future.
