1. In what way does Greenrock feel renewable energy may be beneficial to Bermuda?
Here are the primary benefits for developing renewable energy sources in Bermuda:

One of the reasons that make Bermuda so expensive is its cost of energy. We rely heavily on a single source of energy produced by a private utility that primarily generates energy using fossil fuels - low grade oil and propane gas.

The situation for those wishing to connect Solar Panels to the grid is changing all the time. This month, the Energy and Telecommunications ministry circulated Belco's proposed interconnection agreement and asked for comments.
The newly formed energy commission will then be able to consider those comments and make changes to Belco's proposed agreement to the benefit of all. When this agreement is approved you will be able to connect your panels or wind turbine to the grid and receive credit for the power you generate.
