For the next two years, Cabinet has decided to waive the customs duty rate on all renewable energy products and items coming into the British Virgin Islands.

Notably, all members were present, with the exception of the Minister for Transportation, Works and Utilities Hon. Kye Rymer, who was overseas on private business.
