Block Island’s Energy Roadmap to 2040

Summary

Block Island, a community off the coast of Rhode Island, seeks to enhance its energy resilience and affordability, currently relying heavily on a single submarine power cable that poses outage risks. In response, the U.S. Department of Energy supported the creation of an Energy Roadmap to 2040, which assesses on-island solar and wind potential, forecasts future electricity demand, and proposes supply scenarios aiming for 100% renewable energy self-sufficiency for peak demand. The initiatives outlined in this roadmap are currently in the planning phase, setting the course for the island's energy future.
