The Bermudian Ministry of Home Affairs has launched a public consultation on the proposed National Electricity Sector Policy 2026. This update is the first since 2015 and aims to ensure a cleaner energy future. The policy takes into account the global shift in the energy landscape, including the decreased cost of solar and battery storage. It focuses on right-sizing the energy transition for Bermuda, considering its isolated grid and limited land. The policy will be guided by three tests: keeping electricity affordable, preserving grid reliability, and broadening access to cleaner energy. The policy is structured around four pillars: workforce development, social and economic inclusion, community empowerment, and environmental justice. The consultation is open until May 4, 2026, for residents, businesses, and stakeholders to provide feedback.
