Our comprehensive energy policies work together to modernize our system and bring electricity prices down in The Bahamas. 70MW of solar power and 35MW of Battery Energy Storage Systems will be integrated into the existing grid.
Comprehensive upgrades to our country’s transmission and distribution infrastructure, and switching from heavy and diesel fuels to solar power and natural gas, will create new efficiencies and reduce the price of electricity in The Bahamas. But it won’t happen overnight – it will take time to upgrade our grid and to integrate cleaner energy.
It’s a New Energy Era in The Bahamas. our electricity sector requires comprehensive reform. Lowering prices, and ensuring fair prices, for Bahamian homes and businesses. Increasing the reliability of our electricity supply. Increasing hurricane resilience during this new climate era.
The Bahamas will continue to incentivize the purchase and use of residential solar panels, which can play an important role alongside utility-scale solar, especially in more remote communities, and in enhancing resilience. Why can’t we generate all of our electricity from the sun?
For the first time, The Bahamas is on the path to building utility-scale solar power across our islands. Large photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays will capture the energy from the sun and send it to our country’s electricity grid. What steps are required as The Bahamas moves forward with utility-scale solar power, and what are the costs?
Partners include: LNG is being implemented for efficient generation in New Providence. To reduce the overall energy cost to the consumer, improve the efficiency of the generation assets, and reduce environmental impacts, LNG is being brought to The Bahamas as an alternative to HFO and ADO. Partners include: Cross Project Partnerships:
