Honeywell will provide VIElectron, a CB Loranger Company, its first installment of battery energy storage solutions (BESS) to six solar parks across the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The solution will enable VIElectron to install panels across St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, while the 124 MWh BESS will include an end-to-end battery management system delivering energy controls with an integrated safety system.
“Honeywell is committed to helping our customers achieve their energy targets and decarbonization goals,” says Pramesh Maheshwari, president of Honeywell Process Solutions. “This renewable project is an example of how sustainable technologies are helping reduce the cost of energy for the people of the U.S. Virgin Islands and around the world.”
“As we embark on a transformative journey toward renewable energy, Honeywell’s battery storage expertise aligns seamlessly with our vision,” says U.S Virgin Islands governor Albert Bryan Jr. “It propels us closer to our goal of achieving 30% renewable energy consumption in the U.S. Virgin Islands, fostering a cleaner and greener energy ecosystem.”
When completed, the solar array and BESS will boost the islands’ decarbonization efforts by fulfilling 30% of its energy consumption through renewable sources, says the company. It adds that these capabilities will help enable the U.S. Virgin Islands to forecast and optimize energy usage and costs through the 140 MW solar array.

It’s interesting that the countries that have the highest levels of education have the lowest levels of crime.
Some have suggested that the United States deliberately under-educates its people so as to fill its for-profit prisons. I’m not so cynical, but it’s clear that we care very little about educating our masses, and we seem to accept higher rates of crime than our more progressive counterparts.
Nations in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the world are tearing down their prisons, because so few of their people turn to crime. No one is hungry, impoverished, or living on the streets.
We regard the underclass as animals; others regard everyone as a human being.
This asshole’s only strength is his ability to prey on Americans’ ignorance, in this case, failure to understand that the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats flipflopped in the early 20th Century.
Margaret Thatcher made this comment in the 1980s, before the Internet made it possible for most people to figure out that:
- The countries that make universal healthcare and free education available to their citizens are the happiest nations and Earth, and
- The United States offers its people a great number of free services: roads, bridges, tunnels, firefighting, national defense, embassies, air traffic control, food safety, libraries, public schools, FEMA, criminal justice and corrections, law enforcement, OSHA, auto safety, disease control, the upkeep of our local, state, and national parks and beaches, animal control, space exploration, and dozens of other items.
