Summary
| Description |
English: US Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett (VI-at large), US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Under Secretary Xochitl Torres Small, RD Virgin Islands State Director Lakeisha Hood tour the BMR Energy's Spanish Town Solar Farm in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, on March 21, 2023.
The Spanish Town Solar Farm is owned by BMR Energy in Spanish Town, St. Croix. In 2018, BMR Energy received a $3.25 million USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) loan to refinance an interim loan it used to acquire and repair a solar farm that was damaged by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The facility has 16,000 solar panels and generates clean, emission-free energy to power approximately 1,600 homes. During construction, the project created nearly 100 direct and indirect jobs and injected an estimated $3 million into the local economy. According to BMR, the project has increased facility resilience and promotes energy stability for St. Croix by utilizing outdoor-rated solar panels and inverters. (USDA photos by Rebecca Kaufman.) |
