Saint-Martin is located in the French Antilles. The island is divided into a French part and a Dutch one.

The population of the French part is about 36,000. An increase is observed during the tourist season between November and April.

The main economic activity of the island is based on tourism.

Power supply

Electricity to Saint Martin is provided by a fuel power plant. Renewable energy is not used on the island, except for very few solar panels. Our project of Waste-to-Energy (PI project) will produce about 8% of the total energy consumption.

 

Clean energy on Saint Martin

The "Programmation Pluriannuelle de l'Energie - PPE" is under progress. It will determine the different sources of energy according to French policy and regulations. Our PI Project of Waste-to-Energy is registered in this PPE as one of the future elements of the energy transition journey of the French side of the island.
