PV Energy finalized clean energy installation at V.C. Bird International Airport
The Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GOAB), together with the UK-based clean energy provider PV Energy Ltd., has lately turned a new page in Caribbean history through the completed installation of a solar energy generation and storage sun2live solution as a partial substitute for fossil fuels in Antiguan electric power generation.
Leading Pakistani university, LUMS uses sun2live rooftop installation to power its campus
Given the severity of the energy shortage in Pakistan, crippling the development of the country, the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) decided to forgo its fuel cost for its gas/diesel gensets and move to long-term sustainability by making use of solar power. In early 2013, LUMS started considering a long-term, sustainable strategy to tackle the electricity crisis and therefore called upon The meeco Group to work together for the development of electricity generation capacity and the implementation of renewable energy solutions. Within that year a first 51 kwp sun2roof installation was executed as proof of concept.
More than half of primary school students in the developing world – nearly 300 million children – go to schools without access to electricity, as revealed by the latest Poor People’s Energy Outlook report. Emerging countries are currently facing burgeoning energy demand challenges, which are therefore putting a brake on their economic growth and plunging population into darkness.
For years, the Shiv Public School in Gurgaon has been severely affected by the electricity crisis, attributed to absence of reliable grid power in the semi-urban and rural parts of the country. Willing to circumvent the area’s erratic and unreliable power supply, the Indian school, which was up to now completely running on diesel generated power, decided to switch to Solar Energy as per a presentation of the economic benefits by the Swiss-based clean energy provider The meeco Group, who is an empaneled Channel Partner of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in India.
PV Energy Ltd. looks back on one-week training program organised for Caribbean partners
The 3 MWp installation on the southwest shoulder of the V.C. Bird International Airport of Antigua, which is the first PV installation of a total capacity of 10 MWp in sun2live and sun2roof solar projects across the twin-island is currently close to commissioning. With this happening PV Energy who advance funded and executed this project, continues to support its Caribbean partners to make the best use of the opportunities offered by the newest renewable energy technologies, by introducing a training program tour across Europe.
PV Energy continues training sessions to enhance local engineering capacity
Willing to take a shift towards more sustainable patterns of energy consumption, the Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GOAB) recently made use of PV Energy’s clean power expertise for the construction of a 10 MWp solar energy project cluster including a first 3 MWp installation at the V.C. Bird International Airport on Antigua.
PV Energy transmits its know-how to strengthen expertise of local partners
The development of a sustainable and clean energy supply on the Caribbean Islands is making great progresses. Particularly the Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GOAB) stands out with the completion of the first phase of 3 MWp sun2live solar PV on the grounds of the V.C. Bird International Airport in early October of a total of 10 MWp, which will be finalized in the upcoming 6 months.

For years the occasionally strong growing economic development of Pakistan is falling well short of expectations. In comparison to other emerging countries the economic growth (4,1 percent in 2014, source: GIZ) continues to languish at a lower level. There are several reasons encouraging this weak development. One of the most urgent issues is the ongoing energy crisis containing energy shortages, which often lead to power cuts plunging the country into darkness.

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GOAB) and PV Energy Limited are taking a major step towards environmental sustainability to create affordable and sustainable clean energy solutions across the islands of Antigua and Barbuda.
