Partnership with PFI T&B
PFI T&B Limited is a locally incorporated company affiliated with Spanish renewable energy company Proyectos Fotovoltaicos Internacionales S.L. PFI T&B Limited is driving Trinidad and Tobago’s entry into the renewable energy sector in the first large-scale renewable energy project hosted by any Caribbean Nation. In this regard, we ensure the accelerated implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy. Focusing on solar energy, we have partnered with The Quantum Foundation to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs in Trinidad and Tobago. The Quantum Foundation provides business process outsourcing (BPO) services during this project and ensures that our internal policy is compatible with the United Nations Global Compact and Sustainable Development Goals.
