4. Why Islands?  Islands are often highly dependent on fossil fuels for electricity and transportation and often have very high retail electricity rates  Islands often have abundant renewable resources and small populations, so are ideal places to showcase the potential of renewable energy penetration  Islands are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise and greater severity and frequency of hurricanes EDIN is an international partnership between USA, New Zealand, and Iceland.

5. USVI PILOT PROJECT, April 2009: A collaboration between USVI, DOE, and DOI to establish an aggressive renewable energy deployment strategy for the islands that includes transportation, electricity generation and transmission, energy efficiency, and tourism and industry

6. USVI’s Vision is supported by an Integrated Strategy Approach
