The energy project, which will involve the use of photovoltaic (PV) solar systems to generate cheaper electricity in 30 selected high schools across the island, is costing the Government $120 million. The National Education Trust Limited is responsible for implementing the project.
Some of the targets under the project include complete upgrade, repair and retrofitting of roofs with solar systems at schools that have already been assessed; the payment of fees to DBJ of approximately $15 million, and the development of a business case and Cabinet approval to proceed to the transaction stage of the PPP.
