6 FAQs about [Bahamas energy storage industries]
Does Bahama have a solar power project?
The Bahamian government owns and manages property rooftops, parking lots and green spaces, on which solar power projects could be developed. Several projects that capitalize on that solar power potential are underway, Jones Bahamas points out.
What is a solar energy microgrid in the Bahamas?
This initiative involves developing solar energy microgrids across the Family Islands. This also encompasses the Government’s goal of The Bahamas having a 30 per cent renewable power generation by the year 2030.
Is solar a good option in the Bahamas?
On a kilowatt-hour (kWh) by kilowatt-hour basis, solar’s your best, but you need to add battery energy storage capacity in order to reach higher levels of penetration,” he noted. “Nassau’s [the Bahamas’ largest city] is a pretty big grid, and it can take a fair bit of solar without storage,” Burgess continued.
How will Wärtsilä's gems Digital Energy Platform help the Bahamas?
The combination of flexible power generation and energy storage utilising Wärtsilä’s unique GEMS Digital Energy Platform will support the Government of the Bahamas’ plans to increase its share of renewable sources, notably solar, by 30 percent by 2030.
