How does oil affect the cost of electricity in the USVI?

The USVI, like many island nations, is heavily reliant on fossil fuels for electricity generation. This reliance leaves the USVI vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations, which directly impact the cost of electricity. Assumes an average electricity price of $0.50/kWh and consumption of 767.4 gigawatt-hours (GWh).

How much energy can St Croix generate from biomass?

St. Croix has a moderate potential to generate 3 MW to 5 MW of energy from biomass due to the majority of the island being covered with forest. Landfill gas also has an expected capacity of about the same.

What is the cost of wind energy in St. Croix?

The cost of wind energy in St. Croix ranges from $0.08 to $0.14 per kWh. The localized cost of energy from utility-scale wind projects ranges from this amount. St. Croix has moderate potential to generate 3 MW to 5 MW of energy from biomass because the majority of the island is covered with forest. Landfill gas has an expected capacity of about the same.
