by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, several renewable energy technologies have been analysed. The current power system of the country is widely dominated by conventional fossil fuel generation. Hence, multiple renewable energy options were explored. These include utility-scale solar photovoltaics (PV), distributed solar PV
This document presents Antigua and Barbuda''s Energy Report Card (ERC) for 2021. The ERC provides an overview of the energy sector performance in Antigua and Barbuda''s. The ERC also includes energy efficiency, technical assistance, workforce, training and capacity
Antigua and Barbuda: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen country across all of the key metrics on this topic.
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 base residential utility rates are approximately $0.15 U.S. dollars (USD) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) plus a variable fuel charge.
The technology group Wärtsilä has been awarded the contract to supply and install a 46 MW dual-fuel power plant to the Caribbean Island of Antigua. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) order was placed by Antigua Power Company Limited (APCL), an independent power producer.
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.

Antigua and Barbuda has propelled itself as a leader in climate change advocacy. Earlier this year, it became the first country to sign on to a treaty initiative to devise a strategy to end the expansion of fossil fuels and manage a global phase-out of coal, oil, and gas under the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

This is considering solar, wind, and storage, and not considering hydrogen. Includes hydrogen electrolyser, storage and fuel cell for power-to-hydrogen and hydrogen-to-power. The current power system of Antigua and Barbuda is highly dominated by fossil fuel generation, with only a 3.55% renewable energy share.
Antigua and Barbuda published a draft of its National Energy Policy in December 2010, with the dual goals of reducing energy costs by diversifying away from fossil fuels and driving development of new technologies and sectors.
The island of Antigua and Barbuda has taken the lead in utilising environmentally sustainable fuel for power generation, and this will be the first project of its kind in the Eastern Caribbean region where an LNG terminal will be coupled to a Wärtsilä power plant.
By increasing the renewable energy capacity and decommissioning the Wadadli power plant and its six 6 MW generators, as per the plans, Antigua and Barbuda can save around 3.6 million litres of heavy fuel oil per year.
From the figure, it is also clear that the HOMER optimisation has estimated solar energy to be the more dominant source of electricity in Antigua and Barbuda to serve most of the load. The dominance of solar PV in meeting most of the total load in this scenario is clearer when observing the installed capacity by technology in Figure 21.
