Renewable energy projects in Curaçao | Aspiravi
Renewable energy is the driving force behind progress, including in Curaçao. Today, 30% of the power consumed on the island is generated by wind. And we''re keeping the energy flowing, as we''re planning to build another five wind turbines over the course of 2024.
Curaçao reserves 25 million for floating wind farm
4 天之前· WILLEMSTAD - The Curaçaoan government has earmarked 25 million guilders for the development of an offshore floating wind farm, as revealed during the 2025 budget discussions by the Ministry of
Complete renewable energy in 2033 feasible for Curaçao
To make Curaçao fully sustainable in 2033, the production of solar and wind energy is of great importance, as is proper energy storage. Wind turbines and solar panels play an important role in this. If traditional power generators are still necessary, then the use of biogas is a more sustainable choice.

6 FAQs about [Curaçao batteries for wind turbine]
How will a battery energy storage system benefit Curaçao?
The implementation of a Battery Energy Storage System will allow Curaçao to collect energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar energy and store it using advanced battery storage technologies. This stored energy can be released to mitigate the intermittency of wind power and ensure grid stability.
Does Curaçao use wind and solar energy?
Since the 1980s, Curaçao has been gaining experience in applying wind and solar energy. Curaçao also distinguishes itself from the world with regard to the application of wind and solar energy. In addition, the focus is also on the use of biogas, energy storage and energy savings. Bulbaai conducted an extensive research in Curaçao.
How many wind turbines are there in Curacao?
Curacao features two of the oldest but most productive wind energy installations in the Caribbean. The first installation, a 12-turbine, 3-MW facility, was placed in service at Tera Kora in 1993.15 This was followed by an 18-turbine, 9-MW instal- lation at Playa Kanoa in 2000.
What is Curacao's energy policy?
In 2009, Curacao developed an energy policy document, which sets out general guidance and governing principles for further study of energy issues.4 It suggests the goal of reducing energy consumption by 40% by 2020 and encour- ages the investigation of combining wind power with storage to provide 100% of the island’s energy needs.
How much electricity does Curaçao produce?
Unlike most countries in the world, Curaçao generates about 34 percent of the current electricity production through wind and solar energy. In the Netherlands, that is merely 6 percent. Engineer Richenel Bulbaai from Curaçao defended his dissertation on this subject on 11 October 2019 at the University of Twente.
Does Curaçao have energy-efficient air conditioning?
Bulbaai conducted an extensive research in Curaçao. He analyzed the energy use of almost 400 households, more than 300 offices, 22 hotels, and 9 supermarkets. Many offices were already taking energy-efficient measures, mostly to save on costs. But of the 22 hotels, only sixty percent had energy-efficient air conditioning.
