TCI RESEMBID Contract Signing for the Installation of Solar PV Systems in Government Clinics and the Wellness Centre in TCI
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – Monday, 6 November 2023: The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) Government has signed a contract with Green Revolution for the installation of five (5) solar photovoltaic systems under the EU Funded project titled, “Transitioning towards Green Energy in the Turks and Caicos Islands” RES-33/TCI project.
The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) Government continues to move towards a more sustainable and secure future with the execution of the Contract Agreement by HE Governor Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam for and on behalf of the TCI government and the contractor, Green Revolution Ltd, for the installation of five (5) solar photovoltaic systems. This signing marks a pivotal moment in the Turks and Caicos Islands transition towards a sustainable energy future.
The contract outlines the installation of five rooftop solar PV systems, with battery energy storage and accessories at the following critical public facilities:
- Blue Hills Clinic, Providenciales
- Wellness Centre in Grand Turk
- Bottle Creek Clinic in North Caicos
- Middle Caicos Clinic
- South Caicos Clinic
These rooftop solar PV systems are specially designed for resilience to withstand fierce climatic conditions in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The battery energy storage technology of these systems will provide clean energy to the facilities during severe climatic conditions.
TCIG EUD Commissioner/TCI RESEMBID Project Coordinator, Engineer Delano R. Arthur expressed great enthusiasm about this initiative, saying, "As we harness the power of the sun through solar PV installations, we're not just capturing rays; we're capturing the future. Solar energy is not just about panels; it's about possibilities, sustainability, and a brighter, cleaner world for generations to come."
The Commissioner went further to state "Energy is the heartbeat of progress, and in the RESEMBID project, we are tuning our hearts to the rhythm of renewable energy for a sustainable and vibrant future. We are urging others to do the same.”.
Engineer Robin Spruce of Green Revolution Ltd. states "We are honoured to partner with the Turks and Caicos Islands Government in advancing their commitment to strengthen the capacity of the TCI for a sustainable green energy transition.” These solar PV systems will not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also play a crucial role in ensuring uninterrupted power, especially during adverse weather conditions."

This pilot project demonstrates that collaborative work
between the public and private sectors will yield a greener, safer, and more resilient Turks and Caicos. It is anticipated that these solar PV systems will serve as a model for sustainable energy projects in the built environment in TCI, setting a precedent for the future.
The “Transitioning towards Green Energy in the Turks and Caicos Islands” project falls within the development activities of the RESEMBID programme, which is 47-project programme funded by the European Union and implemented by Expertise France - the development cooperation agency of the Government of France. This programme supports sustainable human development efforts in 12 Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) - Aruba, Anguilla, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Montserrat, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Saint Barthélemy, Sint Maarten and Turks and Caicos.
