6 FAQs about [St Kitts and Nevis storing excess solar energy]
Does St Kitts and Nevis have a national energy policy?
Yes, St. Kitts and Nevis has a National Energy Policy (NEP). The key provisions of this policy include connecting large-scale independent power providers and many distributed renewable energy systems to the electrical grid. Not all generation is made publically available; this chart provides known and referenceable data.
How much solar energy does St Kitts use?
In St. Kitts and Nevis, the solar resource averages 5 kWh per square meter. Solar energy is already being used for grid-powered induction lighting and street lights along roadways. A 7 MW waste-to-energy power plant is planned to come online on St. Kitts in 2015.
How much does electricity cost in St Kitts & Nevis?
The electricity rates in the Federation of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis are $0.26 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This is lower than the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh.
How much energy is lost in St Kitts & Nevis?
Reports indicate that in St. Kitts and Nevis, higher losses are largely attributable to nontechnical losses such as unmetered consumption, leading to losses that are higher than the U.S. Energy Information Administration's average transmission and distribution loss of 6%. By comparison, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports an average transmission and distribution loss of 6%.
Does St Kitts & Nevis rely on fossil fuels?
St. Kitts and Nevis is heavily reliant on fossil fuels for electricity generation, leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity. The government subsidizes the fuel charge for residential customers, partially shielding that sector from price volatility.
