The deadline for a public survey on solar energy has been extended by two weeks, the Government said today.

A spokesman for the home affairs ministry said the closing date would be August 20 instead the original August 6.

He added: “This survey is vital to assessing the adoption of solar energy technologies in Bermuda and planning for new initiatives.

“As such, members of the public are encouraged to do their part by completing it.”

The spokesman said respondents must be aged at least 18 and only one survey per household was needed.

He added the Department of Energy would publish the survey results at a later date.

The survey can be found at www.bit.ly/solar_energy_survey and will take five to ten minutes to complete on any device.
