Renewable Energy
The Better Power Alternative
Our Commitment
Our region faces a serious challenge: more energy, less carbon dioxide. Thanks to discovery of fossil fuels recently, our region is emerging rapidly. Yet there are communities who still don’t have access to electricity, impacting vulnerable groups such as indigenous people, women and youth.
BETA Group’s ambition is to power a more sustainable future by bringing renewable energy to industries, businesses, and communities in Suriname, Guyana and the rest of the Caribbean .
Our Vision and Mission
We continue our commitment to sustainable energy and safe operations.
BETA Group wants to become a major player in solar, wind and hydropower in the Caricom. We develop social infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for the communities we work for and within.
"Our region faces a serious challenge: more energy, less carbon dioxide. We believe the transition to renewable energy will drive progress and opportunities for businesses and communities and protect the future of our planet."
BETA Group's Proven Track Record
BETA Group has worked on renewable energy projects since 1987.
We have a proven track record of delivering high quality renewable energy solutions.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, founder Rudi Jad was actively involved in the design and construction of a high-voltage power line for the distribution of electricity generated from the hydropower Afobaka dam to the city.

Solar Energy
Tivet project
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has been a key partner, providing financial support for the installation of several solar mini grid projects to provide 24/7 electricity to the isolated villages in the Hinterland of Suriname.
BETA Group has won the tender for the EPC (engineering, procurement & construction) of a solar grid for the village of Godo Olo at the upper Suriname river.
New Office: Guyana
With the opening of our office in Georgetown, we also intend to deliver our innovative energy solutions, with a special focus on vulnerable groups, such as indigenous people, women and youth.
Our ambition to provide renewable energy to more communities and business across the region calls for collaboration with partners who share a mutual energy interest.
The goal is to address industry-specific challenges related to renewable energy infrastructure, operations, services, and impacts. Our leadership drives innovation in new technologies and shapes how businesses can be more encouraged to tap into the opportunities that the transition to renewable energy can bring in terms of development to our region.
