6 FAQs about [Montserrat energy shifting energy storage]
Why should Montserrat invest in re-sat projects?
The RE-SAT projects has provided the Government of Montserrat with a new renewable energy platform that has been used to support their transition to renewables and a climate resilient future. Montserrat has a vision of achieving 100% renewable energy grid penetration by 2030.
Does Montserrat need a geothermal plant?
To go beyond this, Montserrat is developing plans to ensure the electricity system can operate reliably. The target of 100% was based on information provided from the 2010 geothermal study4, and an Early Market Engagement exercise in 2017 to procure a 2.5-5MW geothermal plant which would satisfy 100% of the Montserrat energy requirement.
Who provided the power data for the solar PV project in Montserrat?
The power data was kindly provided by the Government of Montserrat. Figure 16: Placard for the 250kW solar PV project in Montserrat. Renewable Energy planning in Montserrat
How has re-sat impacted Montserrat?
A significant early impact that RE-SAT has had in Montserrat include: 1. The development of a wind resource evaluation to explore the potential for wind. 2. The exploration of potential scenarios to achieve 100% renewable penetration and testing the results from an Integrated Resource Plan conducted by external consultants.
What is Montserrat energy policy 2016-2030?
(Montserrat Energy Policy 2016-2030). • In-country commitment is vital for the success of partnership projects: The lead partner in Montserrat, the Energy Unit at the Ministry for Communications, Work, Energy and Labour (MCWEL), facilitated the engagement with other organisations.
What are the challenges faced by Montserrat's re-sat project?
In-country challenges: • Timing and relevance are important for co-production: The RE-SAT project was well received by Montserrat due to their ambitions to transition to renewables as they saw an immediate opportunity to exploit the platform to their advantage. (Montserrat Energy Policy 2016-2030).
