St. Croix is ready to lead the Virgin Islands into a new era of clean, renewable energy. For decades, our dependence on imported fuel has left us vulnerable to high costs and unreliable service. The time has come to invest in our own energy independence—powered by the sun, the wind, and the strength of our people.
The St. Croix 2026–2051 Economic Plan envisions a fully renewable island economy that creates local jobs, attracts green investment, and lowers energy costs for families and businesses. By developing community-owned solar projects, training residents in green technology, and modernizing our power grid, we can build a stronger, more resilient future.
Renewable energy is not just an environmental choice — it’s an economic opportunity. It’s a chance to keep more of our dollars circulating locally, to empower our youth with new skills, and to protect the natural beauty that defines who we are.
Let’s make St. Croix a model of sustainability for the Caribbean and the world. The future is bright if we choose to power it ourselves.
— Omar B.U. Henry, St. Croix
