Notable Caribbean Experience



In addition to Grenada Electricity Services and Jamaica 28MW Content Solar, below are examples of WRB's Caribbean experience.

Turks and Caicos Utilities

In 1982, WRB and TCU launched one of the first successful electric utility privatizations in the Caribbean. The utility was modernized and upgraded to 99%+ reliability.  One of the region’s first wind turbines was installed in 1986. When Hurricane Ike devastated the island nation in 2008, WRB rebuilt the electricity infrastructure, demonstrating its long-term commitment to the region and its customers.
