Once Statia’s biggest employer. Now a mountain of opportunity.

The oil tanks on Statia have been here for decades. Some are larger than an average apartment block, others look like props from a sci-fi movie. For years, the island’s economy ran on diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. Literally.

But times change. One by one, the tanks are being disconnected. No more smoke, no more tankers, no more noise. What remains is a hilltop full of empty silos. Industrial heritage with a view.

And that’s exactly where the opportunity lies.
What do you do with massive containers at 100 meters elevation?
You fill them with water. The sun pumps it up, gravity sends it back down — and in between, you generate power.

From oil-based economy to altitude-based innovation.
This might become Statia’s smartest repurpose yet.
