A New Energy ERA for The Bahamas
The upcoming solar projects will integrate seamlessly with this advanced BESS, using clean energy to maintain consistent power storage, stabilize the grid, and ensure reliable
Family Islands Hybrid Solar Grids Implementing 27MW of solar and hybrid grids tailored for each island's energy needs and self-sustainability. New Providence Grid Modernization Enhancing grid resilience with new switching stations, transmission lines, and substation protections.
On a kilowatt-hour (kWh) by kilowatt-hour basis, solar's your best, but you need to add battery energy storage capacity in order to reach higher levels of penetration,” he noted. “Nassau's [the Bahamas' largest city] is a pretty big grid, and it can take a fair bit of solar without storage,” Burgess continued.
An interactive, two-way grid is required given any grid-connected distributed solar or renewable energy, however, he added. “Studies have shown that the New Providence grid (which serves Nassau) can take at least 8 megawatts (MW) of solar without worrying about storage.
The Bahamas is embracing innovative technology to redefine its energy landscape, prioritizing sustainable and resilient solutions across its islands. The shift towards clean energy not only supports environmental goals but also enhances the stability and reliability of power supplies, especially in remote and vulnerable areas.
