Nearly 40 percent of Ragged Island solar panels installed

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Nearly 40 percent of the solar panels for the new microgrid on Ragged Island have been installed, said Tugliq Energy Co. Development Director Nicolas Seguin yesterday.

The progress comes nearly three years after Hurricane Irma rendered the island “unlivable”.

Following the 2017 storm, which cost the government an estimated $135 million, Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis vowed to transform Ragged Island into a “green city”.
