Is a new solar-plus-storage project coming to the Caribbean?
News of a new, utility-scale Caribbean solar-plus-storage project emerged as this article was being prepared for publication. Swiss battery manufacturer Leclanché is to build a 35.6-MW, 44.2-MWh solar-plus-storage power plant on the island of St. Kitts.
How will solar power and battery energy storage help Bonaire?
The addition of solar power and additional battery energy storage capacity will complement and add to the benefits of wind power generation and energy storage on Bonaire, further improving grid efficiency and resilience, lowering costs and reducing GHG emissions further, Narminio pointed out.
Does Bonaire have a smart energy storage system?
Grid power and electricity service on the Caribbean island of Bonaire has improved substantially as a result of the addition of a new, smart, battery-based energy storage system (BESS) to its hybrid wind-dual-fuel engine-based power grid .
How many solar panels are there?
The system comprises 268 solar panels of 99.16kWp that cover all station roofs, and an energy storage system of lithium iron batteries of 277kWh nominal capacity. The batteries reside in a new battery storage building purposely built as part of the project.
Will a new 8 MW solar power plant require more battery capacity?
The addition of the 8 MW of solar power generation may require more in the way of battery energy storage capacity, Giorgio Narminio, chief operating officer for the Caribbean region, told Solar Magazine.
Will Leclanché build a solar power plant on St Kitts?
Swiss battery manufacturer Leclanché is to build a 35.6-MW, 44.2-MWh solar-plus-storage power plant on the island of St. Kitts. The system is expected to meet one-quarter of the island’s electricity demand with the emissions-free electricity to be sold to state-owned electric utility, Skelec over a 20-year term. comment↓
