Roatán: the Caribbean Island embracing development and renewables
Environmentally conscious Roatan Electric Company (RECO) is leading that change. A robust sustainable energy investment strategy is accelerating the region’s clean energy transition. The utility company has been upgrading its existing power system to operate to maximize efficiency and integrate renewables on a large-scale.
This heralds a clear path for switching to renewables and improving grid stability all at the same time. RECO stands ready to meet future electricity needs as it had the foresight to plan for the need to increase supply as part of its overhaul project.
The combination of optimization and control of assets with renewables and energy storage enables this island to move from underdevelopment to the state-of-the-art technology in step with others around the world.
Think about it. How many places in the World are you aware of that has Wind, Solar and Natural Gas that generates all the electric power for the needs of their customers? Any? “One more reason to LOVE Roatan”

HOLA
This foundation helps local families with their pet care, needs, vaccinations, flea and tick treatments and most importantly spaying and neutering, The island has many unwanted animals so their work is imperative. At the beginning of COVID they distributed 400-600 of pounds of food per week to local communities. They are currently out of donations and can no longer help the local families affected by COVID, etc.

Cattleya Special Needs School Update
In that I very rarely have ever asked for our subscribers for help and did such in last month’s newsletter for our Cattleya Special Needs School I thought it would be appropriate for me to update you on that request. Thank all of you that stepped up. The school raised $4380.00 which helps tremendously for keeping staff on board and their doors open, at least for the time being. For those interested in keeping abreast of this they also have a newsletter that you can find here – http://cattleyaroatan.org/newsletters/
Thank you again!
