Barbados Power Storage Project

A joint initiative by the EU, Barbados, and leading French company HDF Energy, this green hydrogen storage project aims to integrate solar power with on-site green hydrogen storage to provide a reliable, stable, and clean electricity supply to Barbados. On June 28, 2023, the Fair Trading Commission (''the Commission") issued its Decision and Order on Energy Storage Framework and Tariffs. This decision promotes the achievement of the Government of Barbados'' (GoB) transitional goal of a fossil fuel dependent nation to one that is 100% renewable energy (RE) based and carbon neutral by 2030.
