The Islands Energy Program team hasn’t found an instance yet “where importing natural gas, diesel, propane or other fossil fuel for power generation is cheaper than the combination of solar plus storage or other renewable energy systems,” Burgess highlighted. “Solar really is the least-cost option in the Bahamas today.. . Three pillars support the program. The first is strategic planning that enables island governments, private and public-sector enterprises to undertake national clean energy transition programs. . Those characteristics led Shell to propose investing very large sums of capital to build out a 220–250-MW natural gas power plant. “It’s still early days. There’s no PPA [power purchase. [pdf]
Development of the four solar-fueled power systems will set the stage to scale the Family Islands solar program across the island chain’s outlying islands, as well as contribute to the Bahamas achieving a national goal of renewable energy resources meeting 30% of electricity needs by 2030.
Due to their geographic isolation, remote coastal and island communities often face high energy costs and vulnerable energy infrastructure due to their increased risk of natural disasters and climate change. Watch this video to learn more about the program.
Remote and island communities face several energy challenges, including unreliable power, lack of robust connections to mainstream power grids, and threats from strengthening storms.
An interactive, two-way grid is required given any grid-connected distributed solar or renewable energy, however, he added. “Studies have shown that the New Providence grid (which serves Nassau) can take at least 8 megawatts (MW) of solar without worrying about storage.
In addition to the Bahamas, the Islands Energy team is in the midst of assisting Caribbean island governments and utilities in five other jurisdictions craft and carry out clean, renewable energy transition: the British Virgin Islands (BVI), Belize, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Turks and Caicos. Three pillars support the program.
BPL Chairman Donovan Moxey was quoted in a Tribune Business news report. The Bahamas is a very difficult place to generate electricity, distribute it and sell it, even as compared to other Caribbean islands, Chris Burgess, Islands Energy Program projects director, told Solar Magazine.

Smart grid technologies can be defined as self-sufficient systems that can find solutions to problems quickly in an available system that reduces the workforce and targets sustainable, reliable, safe and quality electricity to all consumers.
Although the domains of smart grid applications and technologies vary in functions and forms, they generally share common potentials such as intelligent energy curtailment, efficient integration of Demand Response, Distributed Renewable Generation, and Energy Storage.
In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of Smart Grid technology, specifically focusing on the challenges presented by cybersecurity, interoperability, and renewable energy integration. These aspects were determined to be the most prevalent issues facing the advancement of Smart Grids, specifically for global application.
Denmark has long used several smart grid technologies to support the world’s highest wind penetration. With around 30% of its electricity coming from wind, the country claims the highest electric system reliability in Europe. Crucially, wind energy forecasting is integrated into the daily grid operations of Denmark and surrounding coun-tries.
By enabling distributed renewable generation, smart grid technologies can also help attract private sector investment. Distributed renewable generation allows anyone—an investor, an individual user, a commercial or industrial user—to invest private capital in electric-ity generation.

The Kriegers Flak Combined Grid Solution, a of offshore wind farms into the power grids of two different countries will be the first of its kind. This has the advantage that up to the capacity of the connection the produced power can be transmitted to the country with the highest demand and price, improving the economy of the wind farms. Secondly, the connection between Denmark and Germany can act as an interconnector, so power can be transmitted fro. [pdf]

Kriegers Flak is a 605 MW offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea on the Danish part of the reef of the same name. It forms part of a new 400 MW interconnector between Denmark and Germany. In 2010 the Danish Energy Agency pointed to the site as one of the most attractive for a Danish offshore wind farm.
Kriegers Flak will take advantage of this and be connected both to the Danish grid as well as to the 288 MW ″EnBW Baltic 2″ which is connected via the 48 MW ″EnBW Baltic 1″ to the German grid.
The extension of one of the two Kriegers Flak substation platforms at sea was required for the interconnector project CGS. The cables from all the wind turbines in the wind farm are connected in the transformer station at the transformer platforms. The voltage is transformed from 33 to 150 or 220 kilovolts (kV) for efficient further transport.
In addition to favorable wind conditions and a depth ranging from 16 m to 25 m, Kriegers Flak will also be located next to the German offshore wind farm ″ EnBW Baltic 2 ″.
The transmission capacity will be 400 MW, with the converter substation being delivered by ABB for around US$140 million. Thus, when Kriegers Flak operates at its full 600 MW capacity at least one third of the produced power must be transmitted to Denmark.
