“This report assesses the feasibility of a pilot scheme for battery-powered vessels and solar battery storage systems on Acklins and Crooked Island. Initial community engagement through surveys, workshops and conversations showed a strong interest with cautious optimism, highlighting areas for further exploration in the subsequent phases of this initiative. The report calls for further feedback from key stakeholders, particularly those involved in decarbonizing the energy, transport, and marine sectors in The Bahamas. Ultimately, this initiative outlines a pathway towards a just and equitable energy transition that can be
adapted and scaled across other island communities.”
