Montserrat — Halfway on the Road to 100 Percent Renewables

The island of Montserrat in the Lesser Antilles has some of the highest electricity rates in the world. Half of the cost of the electricity rate is due to the importation of fossil fuels. However, the island has abundant renewable resources and a goal to have 100 percent renewable electricity generation by 2030.
