MonkeyPoint

Monkey Point is an isolated community approximately 30 miles south of Bluefields on the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua. The community is home to 300 inhabitants and has never had a sustained power source until June 2007 when blueEnergy installed one of its hybrid wind/solar electric systems. The electric system is expected to provide 5 kWh per day of energy, enough to power the school, communication radio and to charge batteries for the health clinic and 8 residences. Next, blueEnergy hopes to add a second energy system to power an integrated water pumping, purification, storage and distribution system.
