This transformation will incorporate a variety of sustainable energy sources, including: Microgrids will play a key role in The Bahamas' energy transformation. Benefits for The Bahamas Microgrids will provide energy security, particularly on Family Islands, by producing local electricity, reducing fuel reliance, and stabilizing energy costs.
Solar-plus-storage microgrids have offered ongoing help to provide electricity to Bahamians, prior to and since Hurricane Dorian.
“It's not innovative in most places, but Abaco allows us to identify prime sites for microgrids. The first one will wind up with around 3 MW of power capacity and link Abaco's government complex and hospital. A second should wind up with about 1.5 MW and link the airport hospital and smaller pumping stations.”
Advanced technologies are being integrated into the nation's energy framework to create a more resilient grid, tailored to meet the unique needs of New Providence and the Family Islands. This transformation will incorporate a variety of sustainable energy sources, including: Microgrids will play a key role in The Bahamas' energy transformation.
