Island Global Yachting Announces Inauguration of Solar Power Project at IGY Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas, USVI

FL, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Island Global Yachting (IGY) LLC, the only global portfolio of premium yachting destinations, today announced the activation of a large-scale solar power generation project at Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Clean, Renewable Energy

The project is a collaboration between IGY and Prosolar Caribbean, a leading solar energy provider in the region. IGY installed a rooftop photovoltaic generation array that generates clean, renewable energy for the mixed-use property. Power from panels will supply a meaningful share of Yacht Haven Grande’s energy needs, reduce the property’s reliance on fossil fuels and lower its carbon footprint.

Additionally, the project will lessen demand on the local utility grid, freeing up power for use by the surrounding community.

“This solar project is a milestone for IGY’s renewable energy solutions and our ongoing commitment to sustainability initiatives across our global portfolio of industry-best marinas. We are committed to working with our partners to find innovative ways to reduce our environmental impact and create a more sustainable future for the marina industry.” said Steven English, IGY’s President.

Commitment to Sustainability

“We are thrilled to announce the completion of our first solar panel project at Yacht Haven Grande Marina,” said Eric Simonton, Executive Vice President of Real Estate at IGY. “This project is a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.”
