Caribbean''s largest solar-plus-storage project under way
Swiss energy storage company Leclanché has broken ground on a US$70 million solar and storage microgrid project in St Kitts and Nevis. The system will include a 35.7MW solar farm and a
Construction starts on solar plus storage microgrid on St Kitts
The storage system will be used to help meet the power demand when the solar PV is not generating. It also will improve the grid stability and serve as a backup to the remaining diesel generators. The $70 million project in the hands of the state-owned St. Kitts Electric Company (SKELEC) has been under development for almost two years.
Federal Government and SKELEC Successfully Renegotiated Solar
On successful completion of this fully integrated solar photovoltaic system and a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS), the facility will supply Saint Kitts with 30% to 35% of

On successful completion of this fully integrated solar photovoltaic system and a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS), the facility will supply Saint Kitts with 30% to 35% of consumers'' annual electricity demand by utilizing sustainable and renewable solar energy with ZERO carbon emissions.
Leclanche building large-scale solar-plus-storage system on St Kitts
Swiss battery maker Leclanche SA (SWX:LECN) and its Saint Kitts and Nevis government partners last week launched construction of a solar-plus-storage project in the Caribbean island nation.
Government of St. Kitts and Nevis, SKELEC and Leclanché
Upon completion, the St. Kitts project will be the largest solar generation and energy storage system in the Caribbean and a model for other island nations worldwide. In its first year of operation, the system will generate approximately 61,300 MWh of electricity with a 41,500 metric ton reduction of CO 2 emissions.

• Strong Business Case: more than 22% of savings to St Kitts Electricity Company (SKELEC) • Leclanché Green Power Plant: Solar + Storage Project –Fully Integrated Solar PV 35.6 MW DCp System and Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage (BESS) 14.5 MW / 45.7 MWh facility
Leclanché and Government of Saint Kitts Agree to Build Largest
SKELEC and Leclanché have already entered into a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) which ensures the system will supply essential power capacity for St. Kitts for many years to come. Leclanché has established a St. Kitts special purpose vehicle (SPV) along with local partner Solrid, to fund, own and operate the facility.

ACTIVATION OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM MOVES ST. KITTS
One such example of this was the activation of the Sustainable Energy Storage System at the Sunset Reef Resort on March 19. This storage system is a Solid-State Supercapacitor that will store solar energy and create a battery energy storage system. This would allow the resort to operate solely on renewable energy.
