RA to hold two additional Town Hall meetings for offshore wind farms
Summary
The RA will hold two additional town hall meetings on the potential of offshore wind farms.
Information
August 30, 2023, Hamilton, Bermuda: Following the success of its initial town hall meeting held in June 2023, regarding the potential of offshore wind farms for Bermuda, the Regulatory Authority is reminding the public about two additional town hall events, which are scheduled to take place at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute (BUEI) on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., and at the Willowbank Resort Conference Center on Thursday, September 7, 2023, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Nigel Burgess, the Head of Regulation at the RA, shared his observations, saying, "The turnout at the initial town hall meeting in June at Penno’s Wharf in St. George’s was overwhelming. We are organizing added town hall meetings to ensure that those who couldn't attend the first event can participate in discussions at either of the two venues. As no final decisions have yet been made about the potential adoption of offshore wind farms as a renewable energy source, these sessions are a great opportunity for the public to hear about our latest research findings and to get answers to their questions or concerns."
To attend either event, please register at www.ra.bm/offshorewindfarm. Refreshments will be available.
