The International Green
Energy Council
Establishes A Chapter In
The U.S. Virgin Islands
Washington,
D.C., May 14, 2008: The International Green Energy Council has
established by resolution of its Executive Board of Directors a Chapter to
be established and located in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This will be the twenty
eighth chapter of the organization Worldwide.
International
President, Ralph Avallone visited WAPA facilities along with several other
IGEC Board members. After learning of the severity of the rate payers burden
and the reason behind the high electricity rates it was deemed imperative
to establish a local chapter of the Green Energy Council with offices in the
U.S. Virgin Islands.
The
GEC USVI Chapters’ initial goals will be to initiate education to school
children, businesses and rate payers about ways that they can conserve to
immediately make a difference. Subsequently working with WAPA and Government
Officials to implement policies that will allow for the expeditious application
of renewable energy resources for energy production.
The
International Green Energy Council is an educational non profit organization
committed to educating from kindergarten students to International leaders
about the importance of energy efficiency, environmental stewardship and renewable
energy education in order to save our planet for future generations of humanity.
