6 FAQs about [Grid scale energy storage technologies Antigua and Barbuda]
Will Antigua and Barbuda have a 100% renewable power system?
The current power system of Antigua and Barbuda was used to calibrate the model in HOMER, and subsequently various scenarios were considered to provide the Government with the least-cost pathway for a 100% renewable energy power system by 2030. The study has considered the following five main scenarios:
How much does electricity cost in Antigua and Barbuda?
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Antigua and Barbuda, an independent nation in the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean Sea. Antigua and Barbuda’s utility rates are approximately $0.37 U.S. dollars (USD) per kilowatt-hour (kWh), which is above the Caribbean regional average of $0.33 USD/kWh.
Does Antigua & Barbuda have a solar system?
It is important to note that there is no battery storage system currently deployed in Antigua and Barbuda, hence the solar systems can only generate electricity during the day when sunlight is available. This makes it indispensable for the heavy fuel oil generators to cover the entire load during evening hours.
Is Antigua and Barbuda's power system dominated by fossil fuels?
The results of the optimisation performed for the current power system of Antigua and Barbuda have confirmed that today’s power system is highly dominated by fossil fuels with merely 3.55% of the electricity share coming from renewables.
Will Antigua and Barbuda increase its share of renewables?
The current power system is widely dominated by fossil fuel generation, and with the plans in place as of 2020, the renewable share would merely increase to 9%. To significantly increase its share of renewables, Antigua and Barbuda should follow the pathway of the optimal system scenario outlined in the Roadmap.
What is the Green Barbuda study?
The Green Barbuda Study was prepared by Masdar through the United Arab Emirates – Caribbean Renewable Energy Fund. The study analysed a new power station for Barbuda, consisting of three main power supply components: diesel generation, a solar PV plant and a battery energy storage system with grid-forming inverters.
