Reflecting on last week's Blue Planet Alliance Fellowship Program in Honolulu to help 10 islands in the Pacific, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean get closer to 100% #RenewableEnergy! What a week, and many thanks to our partner Francois Rogers and the rest of the BPA team for making this happen. We at Mana Pacific are excited to continue working with all of the island attendees and assisting them with their #energytransitions. Mahalo! #solar #batterystorage #renewables #pacific #islands #energyindependence #communitysolar #caribbean #energytransition

Last week in Honolulu was valuable time spent with Blue Planet Alliance, the rest of the Mana Pacific Inc team, and individuals from PNG, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Seychelles, Jamaica, Bermuda, Grenada, Dominica, and Puerto Rico. It was great to co-host the second round of the 100% Renewable Energy fellowship. Highlights included visiting Oahu's agrivoltaic site developed by Clearway Energy Group, meeting Governor Josh Green, and mostly, getting to know and learning from all the attendees, as well as supporting their tangible action items towards 100% renewable energy. A special thanks to Francois Rogers for steering the ship!

At the end of the Blue Planet Alliance Fellowship Program last week, our Chief Engineer Logan Weber presented and led a session on grid-stabilizing technologies for island grids to enable #renewableenergy. He touched on #batterystorage, strategies for spinning reserve, power systems modeling, and grid controls, to name a few. #renewables #energytransition #energyindependence #pacific #caribbean #islands #gridstability #resilience

Some snapshots of this week's 100% Renewable Energy Fellowship with Blue Planet Alliance co-hosted and supported by our team at Mana Pacific. Joined by 10 islands, #PNG, #Fiji, #Vanuatu, #SolomonIslands, #Bermuda, #Dominica, #Grenada, #Jamaica, #PuertoRico, and #Seychelles, we are providing pathways to deploy tangible solutions and assist every attendee with achieving their #renewableenergy goals. This week included, and was not limited to: modeling software workshops utilizing Xendee provided by ASU Laboratory for Energy And Power Solutions (LEAPS), resources for creative financing solutions from the private and public sector including examples from Hawaii Green Infrastructure Authority, access to grid stabilizing technologies, and short-term and long-term action items for each community member, legislator, utility, and regulator present. Thanks and shoutout to Francois Rogers for another fantastic fellowship week! #renewablenergy #solar #batterystorage #gridforming #energytransition #energyindependence #renewables #pacific #caribbean

The Blue Planet Alliance Fellowship program brings representatives from island nations and territories to Hawaii for a week-long rigorous seminar and workshop designed to help those islands come up with their own plans for a 100% renewable-energy transition! Jamaica ignited Day One of our #BluePlanetAlliance Fellowship program with a vibrant burst of energy, reflecting the island’s rich cultural tapestry and its fervent dedication to sustainability. Among the 10 island nations striving for 100% #renewableenergy, Jamaica stands tall alongside Seychelles (which performed an incredible traditional dance), Bermuda, Dominica, Fiji, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Puerto Rico, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. As the rhythm of their commitment to renewable energy beats in unison, Jamaica’s lush landscapes, vibrant music, and warm spirit serve as a testament to the island’s enduring resilience and its unwavering commitment to a greener, brighter future 🌴🎶 #tetris #positivethinking #visionaryleadership #successmindset #environmental #henkrogers #climatechange #climatechangesolutions #createchange #sustainable #ecofriendly #sustainability #zerowaste #environment #electricity #sustainableenergy

Yesterday, we visited an agrivoltaic solar farm in northern Oahu! 🌾 Joined by Blue Planet Alliance, Brooklyn Story Lab, and the May cohort attendees from #Fiji, #PNG, #SolomonIslands, #Vanuatu, #Jamaica, #Dominica, #Grenada, #Bermuda, #PuertoRico, and #Seychelles, we spent time touring the farm and learning about the agrivoltaic research being conducted there. Built by Clearway Energy Group, this solar farm is five years old and was transformed into an agrivoltaic research site run by HARC (Hawaii Agriculture Research Center) to test the effects of growing certain crops under and around the existing solar infrastructure. Being the only operational agrivoltaic site in the tropics, this project is essential to learning the best practices and accelerating the growth of agrivoltaics across the region and #islandnations around the globe. #agrivoltaics #agrisolar #agriculture #solarenergy #solarpanels #energytransition #energysecurity #foodsecurity

This week, we are in Honolulu assisting 10 islands with achieving their #RenewableEnergy goals! Mana Pacific is a proud co-host and project development partner to Blue Planet Alliance's Fellowship Program. Over 40 representatives from 10 islands spanning the #Pacific, #Caribbean, and #Africa have gathered for the second cohort this May. The workshops commenced on Monday, May 6th with key speakers representing Hawaii, including its former Governor and 100% renewable energy law champion, David Ige. Special shoutout to #Vanuatu, #PNG, #SolomonIslands, and #Fiji for representing the Pacific, #Jamaica for bringing "bolts" of energy, and #Seychelles for showcasing their expert dance skills.

Last night was an exciting start to the Blue Planet Alliance 100% Renewable Energy Fellowship's May 2024 cohort with the kickoff event overlooking #Honolulu. As a co-host and development partner to the fellowship, we will support all island attendees with project implementation to reach their 100% #renewableenergy goals. We welcome #Fiji, #Vanuatu, #PNG, and #SolomonIslands from the Pacific, to be joined by #Bermuda, #Jamaica, #Dominica, #Grenada, and #PuertoRico from the Caribbean as well as #Seychelles. Cheers to the week ahead!

The leis are out and we are ready to host more than 40 representatives from 10 islands, who have come to Hawaii for the second cohort of our Blue Planet Alliance Fellowship program. We will be hosting experts from the legislative branch, the regulatory sector, the utility, and civil society from each of 10 islands, representing the Pacific and the Caribbean. Because we played a role in Hawaii becoming the first state to legislatively mandate a transition to 100% renewable energy, we are sharing our knowledge with other island leaders, to help put them on the path to 100% renewable, too. And once we do, we'll have a sizable bloc of islands on that path to a fossil-fuel-free future. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/e6kqykzE
