Montserrat — Halfway on the Road to 100 Percent Renewables

A case study detailing RMI's assistance to the Government of Montserrat and its utility company in installing a 750 kW solar system and 1 MWh battery storage, which brought the island to 50 percent renewable energy installed capacity.

• The installation of a 750 kW ground mount solar system and 1 MWh of battery energy storage, which powers 300 households, has enabled Montserrat to reach 50 percent renewable energy in terms of installed capacity. This supports the island's broader goal of achieving 100 percent renewable electricity generation by 2030.
• The project generated local economic and educational benefits, employing 70 local employees across 11 entities. It also increased public interest in solar energy, with a notable 80 percent of students on an organized tour of the facility being girls.
• To ensure resilience against local environmental factors, the project's technical specifications required compliance with international best practices and regional risks, including designing for 180 mph wind speeds and Exposure Category C for hurricanes.
