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.
Our comprehensive energy policies work together to modernize our system and bring electricity prices down in The Bahamas. 70MW of solar power and 35MW of Battery Energy Storage Systems will be integrated into the existing grid.
It's a New Energy Era in The Bahamas. our electricity sector requires comprehensive reform. Lowering prices, and ensuring fair prices, for Bahamian homes and businesses. Increasing the reliability of our electricity supply. Increasing hurricane resilience during this new climate era.
Partners include: LNG is being implemented for efficient generation in New Providence. To reduce the overall energy cost to the consumer, improve the efficiency of the generation assets, and reduce environmental impacts, LNG is being brought to The Bahamas as an alternative to HFO and ADO. Partners include: Cross Project Partnerships:
