Energy Snapshot Curacao This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Curacao, an autonomous member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands located of the coast of Venezuela. Curacao’s utility rates are approximately $0.26 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), below the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh.
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.
Curacao’s long history with wind energy has provided it with valuable experience in integrating variable energy resources into the electrical system while also demonstrating the value of avoiding petroleum-based electricity generation.
Like many island nations, Curacao is highly dependent on imported fossil fuels (more than 95% of the island’s electricity is generated using petroleum-based fuels), leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity.
