My Government received 2,000 donations from China, solar LED lights, worth 9 million Caribbean dollars. Yesterday,
Ren Xiaoping, Prime Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office in the
formal transfer of the ceremony, Prime Minister Gaston Brown said at the
ceremony will continue its commitment to reduce carbon emissions. "Later
in the year we hope to introduce 15 million Caribbean dollars of
renewable energy for wind and solar energy, which will be funded by
ARENA (International Renewable Energy Agency), the Minister of Health
and the Environment, which signed the document," he said. Six months can be in place.
"Antigua
and Barbuda is moving forward," Brown said, noting that his 33-year
diplomatic ties with China will continue to pay off for his country and
that China will continue to be a partner in developing countries. Brown said the recent donation will be entirely driven by solar energy, which will reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Benjamin Road, along the 6 street lamps have been completed to try
to install, follow-up more lights will be installed in the trunk road.
Previously,
China had assisted 1,867 metal halide lights in Antigua and Barbuda,
saying that old streetlights would be upgraded to maintain energy
efficiency. "China
is making unremitting efforts to promote green development and take the
lead in energy conservation and new energy use in the world," he said,
adding that climate change has become a global hot topic that affects
everyone and will profoundly change the world. Bringing the expected risks, Anbar is one of the countries most threatened by climate change. " The donated streetlight system is equipped with a separate battery that relies on solar energy for charging.
