Renewable

Energy Sources

How do we power our future? The answer is all around us. Our islands are blessed with an abundance of clean, renewable, LOCAL energy sources.

We already have a variety of renewable energy sources currently providing power for the islands. As we increase the electricity we produce from each of these sources, we reduce our dependence on imported oil.

Getting more energy from local sources will create jobs, help revitalize local agriculture, and keep more of our hard-earned dollars at home.

Working together, we can reduce our dependence on imported oil and develop our own renewable energy sources. It will take a close partnership of your electric utilities, private companies, landowners, communities and YOU. Oil prices are high and likely to stay high. While some renewable technologies may cost more initially, in the long-run the costs can be worth it. Using renewable energy will help keep our air and water cleaner and limit greenhouse gases that can cause global warming.
