6 FAQs about [Electric energy storage system Aruba]
Where does Aruba get its electricity from?
Aruba currently gets 15.4% of its electricity from renewable sources. The island has sufficient renewable energy resource potential, with excellent technical potential for ocean, wind, and solar renewable energy generation.
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)\* \(below the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh\).
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.
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.
Is Aruba a fossil fuel island?
Aruba remains dependent on imported fossil fuels, as more than 80% of the island’s electricity is generated using heavy fuel oil. This leaves Aruba vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity.
