Turneffe Flats: Self Sufficient Sustainability

As a remote, off-grid resort, Turneffe Flats strives to provide quality guest services with minimal impact to Turneffe Atoll’s environment. The off-grid solar installation provides approximately 75% of energy needs reducing the use of diesel fuel by more than 64,000 litres per year. The solar panels have also been adapted for rainwater collection.  The resort water system operates primarily with rainwater collected from multiple linked locations. Current storage holds more than 1,000,000 litres of rainwater making the backup water-maker largely unneeded.
