The Ministry of Home Affairs is encouraging the public to participate in the next-generation Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) consultation process, highlighting the community's crucial role in shaping Bermuda's energy future. This public engagement ensures that our energy landscape aligns with both global advancements and local innovations.
Since 2018, Bermuda has embarked on a progressive journey towards energy diversification and the increased use of renewables. The next-generation IRP offers a vital platform for the public to continue this journey, addressing critical infrastructure needs, promoting grid enhancements, and integrating more innovative transmission, distribution, and renewable (TD&R) technologies.
Public involvement is key to developing effective strategies for better demand management, conservation, and efficiency measures. The IRP process will consider these factors, ensuring a comprehensive approach to Bermuda's energy planning.
Minister of Home Affairs Walter Roban stated, "With considerable development occurring globally in the energy sector, Bermuda aims to stay at the forefront by embracing innovation and public collaboration. This IRP process is an opportunity for everyone to contribute their insights and ideas, ensuring a robust and forward-thinking energy strategy for the island. The participation of our community is essential in shaping a sustainable and resilient energy future for Bermuda. We encourage all residents to take an active role in this consultative process."
