6 FAQs about [System integration of renewables Aruba]

How much energy does Aruba consume annually?

Aruba has an annual consumption of 990 gigawatt-hours (GWh). Currently, about 13% of its generation comes from a 30-MW wind project and 0.9% comes from waste-to-energy (WTE) biogas. An additional renewable capacity of 34 MW is planned or in progress. Aruba's installed generation capacity is 230 megawatts (MW) with an average load of 100 MW.

How many MW will Aruba's biogas plant use?

Aruba's biogas plant is hoping to add 3 MW to 6 MW of capacity with a goal of using 70% of household waste. Production data for a 3.5-MW airport solar project are not yet available, and an additional 6 MW of solar capacity is planned for the residential and commercial sectors.

Does Aruba aim for sustainable development?

Aruba has announced its commitment to sustainable development, as stated in the 2011 document titled "The Green Gateway". During the Rio +20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012, the country declared its goal to achieve 100% renewable energy use by 2020.

What is the cost of electricity in Aruba?

The energy landscape of Aruba, an autonomous member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands located off the coast of Venezuela, is outlined in this profile. Aruba’s utility rates are approximately $0.28 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)\* \(below the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh\).

Does Aruba use ice for building cooling?

Aruba's utility installed a pilot ice storage cooling system that makes ice at night when electricity costs are lower. Ice is then used the following day to cool buildings instead of traditional air conditioning. Currently, Aruba gets 15.4% of its electricity from renewable sources.

What are the costs incurred in integrating variable renewables into existing grids?

The costs incurred in the integration of variable renewables into existing grids can be categorised as 1) grid infrastructure and 2) system operation costs. The grid infrastructure costs include grid connection and grid upgrading costs.
