Off grid solar power in Grenada and the Grenadines

Energy Snapshot Grenada

Grenada''s clean energy goals for increasing energy efficiency and implementing renewable energy from geothermal, wind, and solar technologies are matched by its renewable resources, which more than exceed current electric sector capacity. Several policies and programs have been imple-mented to help meet those goals, including:

Renewables Readiness Assessment: Grenada

complemented by intermittent wind and solar in the energy mix by 2030. The RRA activities and workshops brought the citizens of Grenada to the roundtable. They critically discussed and analysed Grenada''s energy position – in particular renewable energy conditions, barriers and challenges and the ownership of the islands'' potential resources.

Grenada Seeks EOIs for Grid-Scale Solar and Storage Project

The project aims to increase Grenada''s reliance on renewable energy and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. PURC is seeking an independent power producer (IPP) to develop and operate either a 15.1MW standalone solar PV plant or a solar-plus-storage plant combining 15.1MW of solar PV and a 10.6MW/21.2MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).

Grenlec Awarded Best Distributed Generation Project at Caribbean

Grenlec was awarded the "Best Distributed Generation Project" award for its recent multi-site solar photovoltaic installations in Grenada. The award was one of seven new Caribbean

Grenada''s Largest Renewable Project Underway – GRENLEC

The $6.4 million renewable energy project consists of 11 solar photovoltaic (PV) installations at Grenlec''s facilities in Grand Anse, Queen''s Park and Plains. With a total capacity of 937 kW, the 11 sites include a combination of carport, roof-

The future is bright for renewable energy in Grenada

As part of the Grenlec Community Partnership Initiative (GCPI), three major projects are being finalized for the installation of rooftop solar PV systems to subsidise the homes'' energy expenditures and grow Grenada''s renewable energy penetration.

Grenlec Awarded Best Distributed Generation Project at Caribbean

Grenlec was awarded the "Best Distributed Generation Project" award for its recent multi-site solar photovoltaic installations in Grenada. The award was one of seven new Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF) Project Awards that recognise excellence in project execution in the Caribbean.

Grenada procuring grid-scale solar and storage project at airport

The energy regulator of Grenada is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) for a solar or solar-plus-storage project at the Caribbean island nation''s main international airport. The country''s Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has issued an early market engagement (EME) announcement soliciting EOIs and requests for information (RFI

Off grid solar power in Grenada and the Grenadines

There are a number of solar energy projects underway in Grenada. In 2022, the country''s first utility-scale solar power plant was completed. The plant has a capacity of 2.5 MW and is expected to generate enough electricity to power over 1,000 homes. In addition to utility-scale projects, there is also a growing market for rooftop solar in

4 FAQs about [Grenada community solar projects]

Does Grenada have solar power?

Solar photovoltaics (PV) have high potential on Grenada because the country’s global horizontal irradiation exceeds 5 kWh/square meters per day. A 2- to 4-MW PV installation is planned, but no utility-scale solar plants are currently in operation.

How much does solar cost in Grenada?

According to data from 2014, the costs of utility-scale solar in Grenada are estimated to be between $0.21/kWh and $0.44/kWh; wind costs are estimated to be between $0.05/kWh and $0.20/kWh.

What is the potential of geothermal power in Grenada?

Geothermal studies reveal a potential of approximately 50 MW of baseload power; two 20-MW geothermal projects have similarly stalled in development. Solar photovoltaics (PV) have high potential on Grenada because the country’s global horizontal irradiation exceeds 5 kWh/square meters per day.

Does Grenada have electricity?

Grenada’s electrical grid stretches across the three main inhabited islands and is served by a single electrical utility, Grenada Electricity Services Limited (GRENLEC), which has the exclusive license to generate, transmit, distribute, and sell electricity through December 31, 2073.
