Comprehensive upgrades to our country’s transmission and distribution infrastructure, and switching from heavy and diesel fuels to solar power and natural gas, will create new efficiencies and reduce the price of electricity in The Bahamas. But it won’t happen overnight – it will take time to upgrade our grid and to integrate cleaner energy.
For the first time, The Bahamas is on the path to building utility-scale solar power across our islands. Large photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays will capture the energy from the sun and send it to our country’s electricity grid. What steps are required as The Bahamas moves forward with utility-scale solar power, and what are the costs?
The order comprises 27 units of Wärtsilä GridSolv Quantum energy modular storage system. The installation will be located at the Bluehills Power Station and will be carried out by Wärtsilä under a full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract. The system is anticipated to be fully operational by mid-2022.
Large photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays will capture the energy from the sun and send it to our country’s electricity grid. What steps are required as The Bahamas moves forward with utility-scale solar power, and what are the costs? Island-by-island planning. Every one of our inhabited islands is different, and requires a unique set of solutions.
