Call to speed up switch to smart grid power network
Article by May 11, 2021
Carlton Cummins, Barbadian co-founder of United Kingdom-based clean technology company, Aceleron, says Barbados needs to hasten its transition to a smart grid power network.
“With a smart grid we could get to a place where people share energy with each other. We could even fine-tune the process of energy sharing to the extent that householders can store and sell electricity generated from renewable energy sources, at specific times and at specific rates, further incentivising green energy solutions.
I am excited about the possibility of Barbados becoming truly independent of its reliance on fossil fuel. Transitioning to a smart grid is one of the ways we can hurry that dream along,” Cummins said.
