    The Lamberts Wind Project, is a proposed wind farm in the parishes of St. Lucy and St. Peter. Once completed, it could provide enough energy to power 12,000 to 17,000 homes. It supports the goals of the Barbados National Energy Policy, in particular its target of supplying 100% of the country’s energy needs with renewable energy by 2030.

    The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector arm of the World Bank Group is working with the Government of Barbados (GoB) through the Ministry of Energy and Business (MEB), to do feasibility studies on the site. The IFC is also looking at the technical, environmental and social features of the Project. The GoB will then conduct a competitive tender for a Sponsor who will design, construct, operate and maintain the Project and hold majority ownership.

    This process ensures that the wind farm offers the greatest benefit to the people of Barbados and the Lamberts community.
