LNG Microgrids to Reduce the Bahamas'' High Electricity Costs
The Bahamas expects a fleet of LNG microgrids to lower electricity costs, provide resilience, and help the islands cut carbon emissions.
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.”
Seven solar-plus-storage microgrids are live to date, Christopher Burgess, project director for RMI's Islands Energy Program told Solar Magazine, all of which seem to be based on their locational value in terms of meeting loads islands wide.
Furthermore, energizing the USD105 million, Wilson City Power Plant on Grand Bahama, which hasn't been operational since construction began in 2012. A 5-MW or greater capacity coal-fired power plant such as Wilson needs a sufficient load in order to operate, Burgess said in an interview. The Wilson City Power Plant comes in at 48 MW.
