6 FAQs about [Antigua and Barbuda beis energy storage]
How much does electricity cost in Antigua and Barbuda?
This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Antigua and Barbuda, an independent nation in the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean Sea. Antigua and Barbuda’s utility rates are approximately $0.37 U.S. dollars (USD) per kilowatt-hour (kWh), which is above the Caribbean regional average of $0.33 USD/kWh.
Will Antigua and Barbuda have a 100% renewable power system?
The current power system of Antigua and Barbuda was used to calibrate the model in HOMER, and subsequently various scenarios were considered to provide the Government with the least-cost pathway for a 100% renewable energy power system by 2030. The study has considered the following five main scenarios:
What is Antigua & Barbuda's energy policy?
Antigua and Barbuda published a draft of its National Energy Policy in December 2010, with the dual goals of reducing energy costs by diversifying away from fossil fuels and driving development of new technologies and sectors.
How can Antigua and Barbuda save fuel oil?
By increasing the renewable energy capacity and decommissioning the Wadadli power plant and its six 6 MW generators, as per the plans, Antigua and Barbuda can save around 3.6 million litres of heavy fuel oil per year.
Will Antigua and Barbuda increase its share of renewables?
The current power system is widely dominated by fossil fuel generation, and with the plans in place as of 2020, the renewable share would merely increase to 9%. To significantly increase its share of renewables, Antigua and Barbuda should follow the pathway of the optimal system scenario outlined in the Roadmap.
