This is a large download (28+ mb), so be prepared; there was a lot of information shared at this Workshop.

Please, feel free to post questions or comments here.

USVI Home Energy Survey

Hello Everyone,

The EDIN USVI EEWG is working to collect residential energy usage data.  One of the best collection tools for this kind of information is a survey.  I am imbedding a download link and an upload link that will allow your anonymous participation in our information collecting efforts.  If you are willing, your participation would be very helpful.

If you are a resident of the Virgin Islands and are willing to submit an anonymous home energy survey, please do the following:

1.                  Click on the following link: https://edinenergy.sharefile.com/d/sa1c899777da49d4a
2.                  Save the file to your local drive.
3.                  Upload the completed survey anonymously by clicking on the following link: https://edinenergy.sharefile.com/r/re99ef7baecb4f2b8

Thank you for your valuable participation; the true key to the success of the EDIN USVI Energy Efficiency goals is actual data and input from key stakeholders like you.


Thank you,

The USVI EEWG

The EDIN USVI Energy Workshop Participation is Outstanding!

VIEO, WAPA, and the EDIN effort's support team are participating in the second day of the Workshop and things are going really well.  Many comments and suggestions have been received on how to best proceed with and improve on the great progress being achieved.  Both Bevan Smith and Hugo Hodge have been present and have shared the progress that both VIEO and WAPA are making towards the 60% energy reduction by 2025.  Around 75 people have participated and we are expecting another full day of education and advancement of the USVI's energy goals.  Stay tuned for updates and links to resources collected over the course of this event!

EDIN-USVI Energy Workshop - November 15-16, 2010

I thought it might be interesting to see what everyone in the EEWG is hoping to see come out of the Workshop.

Top 10 Energy Efficiency Ideas

Miguel Quinones, of The Virgin Island's Energy Office, has been soliciting energy efficiency ideas from all EEWG participants.  If you have any ideas you would like to propose or discuss, please post them.  Depending on the level of response, there may be a little competition opened up that rewards those that share ideas that are adopted.
