6 FAQs about [Antigua and Barbuda irena company]

Will Antigua and Barbuda have a 100% renewable power system?

The current power system of Antigua and Barbuda was used to calibrate the model in HOMER, and subsequently various scenarios were considered to provide the Government with the least-cost pathway for a 100% renewable energy power system by 2030. The study has considered the following five main scenarios:

What can Antigua and Barbuda learn from Hawaii?

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda can learn from the successful example of the state of Hawaii in implementing a targeted and specific policy directive that can help not only in achieving the target of a 100% renewable energy share but also aid in procuring cost-eficient renewable energy systems.

Will Antigua and Barbuda increase its share of renewables?

The current power system is widely dominated by fossil fuel generation, and with the plans in place as of 2020, the renewable share would merely increase to 9%. To significantly increase its share of renewables, Antigua and Barbuda should follow the pathway of the optimal system scenario outlined in the Roadmap.

Which energy source is most dominant in Antigua and Barbuda?

From the figure, it is also clear that the HOMER optimisation has estimated solar energy to be the more dominant source of electricity in Antigua and Barbuda to serve most of the load. The dominance of solar PV in meeting most of the total load in this scenario is clearer when observing the installed capacity by technology in Figure 21.

How do we estimate the energy load for Antigua and Barbuda?

To estimate the load for Antigua and Barbuda, data were needed on the energy production from the existing generators. APUA provided IRENA with data on the generation of each power plant for four consecutive years: 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. However, the data provided for 2019 (the most recent year) were monthly values and not hourly.

What does Irena do?

IRENA promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy, in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity.
