Analysis of the Transition to 100% Renewable Energy on St. Helena
To become completely energy independent however, St. Helena''s electrical grid must be substantially overhauled to be able to support new renewable generators and storage elements, together with demand-side management of large industrial loads and intelligent residential usage.
Extreme E Puts Further Faith In Hydrogen Power With
Extreme E will be extending its use of hydrogen for off-grid power in Season 3 with technology from Kaizen Clean Energy, and still aims to launch a hydrogen-powered Extreme H series in 2024.
Our current renewable energy sources
In April 2018 the Government of St Helena announced it had chosen a supplier to provide a renewable energy solution for St Helena, aiming for 100% renewable electricity by 2027. After lengthy contract negotiations it was announced on 29

Wind-Diesel Hybrid System St. Helena. The St. Helena project started in 1998, when three Lagerwey 18/80 turbines were installed on the island. In 2009, Wind Energy Solutions (WES) increased the number of turbines to a total of six by adding three WES80 80 kW wind turbines.
St Helena Energy Strategy
St Helena''s energy strategy will aim to improve the social and economic well-being of its population, and minimize the impact on the environment. It will increase the production of energy through renewable sources, and reduce the island''s reliance on imported fuels,
Electricity Generation
Connect Saint Helena Ltd generates electricity in 3 ways: Diesel Powered Generators at the Power Station in Ruperts; Wind; Solar; Electricity from Diesel At present approximately 75% of the islands electricity is generated from burning fossil fuel (diesel). We have 4 generators which have a total capacity of 5,400kW.

INTERIM GUIDELINES FOR CONNECTION OF PRIVATE SOLAR
private PV system also consumes electricity from the main electricity grid operated by Connect Saint Helena Ltd (CSH). In such cases it is necessary for the private PV system to be connected to the electricity grid. This enables the owner of the private PV system to consume electricity from the grid when the private PV system is not in operation.

Sizing a Generator for an Off-Grid Solar System
By considering factors like power consumption, peak load, solar system efficiency, and generator compatibility, you can determine the appropriate generator size for your off-grid solar system. Proper sizing not only prevents overloading but also ensures a dependable power supply during high-demand periods and unfavorable weather conditions.
