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.
As a part of Aqualectra’s ongoing efforts to continue improving its services and better serve the people of Curaçao, this agreement aims to fully revolutionize energy management in Curaçao by 2030, ensuring reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy for the island.
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.
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.
Located in Willemstad, the capital city of Curaçao, the refinery plays a crucial role in the Caribbean’s energy sector. The quality of the Willemstad harbor, the strategic location of Curaçao, and the safe political status of the island also lured Shell to establish an oil refinery and transshipment plant in the harbor in 1916.
