The Richmond Vale Academy (RVA) which focuses heavily on sustainable living will have 100 per cent of its electricity generated by renewable energy by May.

The move by the RVA falls under its 10-year programme, The St. Vincent Climate Compliance (CCCP) 2012 – 2021.

Under the programme, the institution has trained hundreds of students to take action as well as inform thousands of people globally on the effects of global warming and climate change.

The programme was launched after a drought at the beginning of 2010 followed by Hurricane Tomas late that year and flash floods in 2011.

Stina Herberg, director of the RVA, says that having the school transition to the use of 100 per cent renewable energy aligns with the energy policy for the government of SVG, which is pivoting to more renewable energy.
