Also, the utility BL&P has moved towards photovoltaic technologies. In 1995 they became a member of the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and shortly after installed two 2,000 Wp photovoltaic systems, one at its Sewell substation in the year 2000 and in 2005 at the Future Center Trust in St. Thomas (BL&P 2009a). Furthermore, BL&P submitted an application for a review of its electricity rates in May 2009. Last time rates were changed was in 1983 and they needed an update, so Peter Williams, Managing Director of BL&P (pers. comm. 25 March 2010). Among a Time-of-Use and an Interruptible Service Rider they also established a Renewable Energy Rider (RER), proposing a 1.8 Fuel Clause Adjustment or 0.315 BBD/kWh whichever is greater. This means the customer will be reimbursed for the electricity he is generating with his renewable energy system by 1.8 times of the actual utility’s fuel clause. In case of a low fuel charge, a price of 0.315 BBD/kWh (about 0.16 USD/kWh) is guaranteed. The RER rate was calculated by BL&P based on avoided fuel costs. The size restriction is 5 kW for residential and 50 kW for commercial customers, with an overall maximum of 1600 kW (Fair Trading Commission 2010). The proposed rates of BL&P were accepted by the Fair Trading Commission in March 2010 but they advised that the pilot programs should not be undertaken for more than 2 years from the date of tariff implementation which should not be later than the beginning of July 2010 (Fair Trading Commission 2010). BL&P sees the positive aspects of implementing renewable energy in cost deductions, increase security by diversification and environmental protection, which also has positive effects for the tourism industry (Williams pers. comm. 25 March 2010). Furthermore, BL&P is aware of their important position within society. As the only electricity provider, they want to please their customers and Williams (pers. comm. 25 March 2010) states: “When the company is doing well, also the country is doing well.” To coincide with the installation of photovoltaic systems, government offered training workshops to ensure that the capacity is developed to sustain a solar photovoltaic industry. One workshop was held for technicians and another for students of secondary schools to cover the fundamentals of project management, systems design, installation and maintenance. The schools received training in designing and assembling a system and each school received a photovoltaic panel at the end of the workshop for project developments (Ministry of Physical Development Environment 2001).
