Daily Herald story It would be nice IF SXM ever gets the Dutch aid, if they could start a similar deal in SXM. It would be great to not have to worry about those GEBE diesel generators breaking every other day..

Wasn't there something ridiculous a while back about the Westin getting fined by the government for having their own generator running and bypassing GEBE for more than necessary?
GEBE is a scam! They prevent solar and wind power companies.
Would be interesting to see the cost savings to Statia. Wonder if their individual bills will go down to reflect the solar use and 50% less diesel generated electricity use.?? GEBE is not a scam and having Solar Hart system will cut back big time on electric cost. We will start with our pool system after we finish with the other work that we have to do.

I'm sorry, but when you are penalized for creating your own electricity, there is a problem! http://www.dutchcaribbeanlegalportal.com...ectricity-bills"GEBE claimed The Westin had generated electricity illegally, as this was against the National Ordinance Electricity Concessions. This had led to the electricity company losing income and profit, damages for which The Westin was to be held liable." I do understand being told to pay for the meter reading error and past due bills though.

GEBE is not a scam I'm sorry, but I will disagree with you on that. Our GEBE bills went up through the roof exactly one month before Irma and two months after Irma.. even though we didn't have the electricity and water, we still paid much more than usual.
