SVG, Clinton Foundation sign agreement
St Vincent and the Grenadines has taken a major step towards harvesting renewable energy.
On
Thursday, November 8, Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves signed an
agreement with the Clinton Foundation, under the Clinton Climate
Initiative, which will provide the technical and financial support, as
this country makes an exploration for geothermal energy.
The
Prime Minister met with representatives of the Clinton Foundation,
including Ira Magaziner, Chairman of the Clinton Climate Initiative.
Dr
Gonsalves said that this step towards exploring alternative sources of
energy puts St Vincent and the Grenadines in a unique and advantageous
position, since it means that harvesting geothermal energy would be a
cheaper and cleaner source of energy for Vincentians.
The
Prime Minister expressed his satisfaction with the collaboration,
remarking that St Vincent and the Grenadines shares a long standing
relationship with the foundation and its founder-former United States
President Bill Clinton.
Dr. Gonsalves added that
the support the government is receiving, through this initiative, to
explore for a sustainable form of energy, is being done as a show of
international solidarity.
This project is expected
to transform the energy sector, making St Vincent and the Grenadines
more energy efficient and less dependent on traditional sources of
energy.
Following
the signing of the agreement, Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves along
with officials from the Energy sector and representatives of the Clinton
Foundation met with investors of the energy company Emera-Reykjavik
