6 FAQs about [Antigua and Barbuda microgrid energy system]
Will Antigua & Barbuda achieve a net-zero carbon economy by 2030?
With the Caribbean -island state of Antigua and Barbuda having committed to achieving an entirely renewable energy system by 2030, as part of a path to a net-zero carbon economy by mid century, a study prepared by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has placed solar front and center of the energy transition needed.
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?
