6 FAQs about [Montserrat solar powered generators]
Who provided the power data for the solar PV project in Montserrat?
The power data was kindly provided by the Government of Montserrat. Figure 16: Placard for the 250kW solar PV project in Montserrat. Renewable Energy planning in Montserrat
How much does electricity cost in Montserrat?
Montserrat’s utility rates start at $0.53 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for residential customers, which is above the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh. Like many island nations, Montserrat is almost entirely dependent on imported fossil fuels, leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity.
Does Montserrat need a geothermal plant?
To go beyond this, Montserrat is developing plans to ensure the electricity system can operate reliably. The target of 100% was based on information provided from the 2010 geothermal study4, and an Early Market Engagement exercise in 2017 to procure a 2.5-5MW geothermal plant which would satisfy 100% of the Montserrat energy requirement.
Can wind energy be implemented in Montserrat?
Although wind energy has not yet been fully re-explored in Montserrat, a desktop study using RE-SAT wind resource maps was conducted to determine suitable locations for the implementation of wind energy. The outcome of this study was included in their first Environmental Statistics Compendium6in Montserrat, which was published in 2020.
What is Montserrat energy policy 2016-2030?
