Construction has started on the first major solar-plus-storage project in the Dominican Republic, which features a 24.8MW/99MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The Comisión Nacional De Energia (CNE) of the Dominican Republic announced the start of work on the Dominicana Azul solar project shortly in late December (22 December).
Dominica drafted a national energy plan in 2011 and revised it in 2014. The objective of the plan is to make electricity generation on the island self-sufficient by 2020 using sustainable and indigenous resources.
The electricity rates in Dominica, as of 2015, were $0.39 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)\. This is higher than the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh.
Despite having three hydroelectric plants on the Roseau River that produce 27.4% of Dominica’s electricity supply in the present day, Dominica is not heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels as other islands in the region. In the 1960s, hydropower supplied 90% of Dominica’s electricity.
Dominica has a high solar potential with a solar resource of 5.6 kWh per square meter per day. The government has installed LED streetlights (in 2013 and 2014). Dominica also has approximately 30 MW of wind power potential, some of which is under development.
