6 FAQs about [Montserrat generator power solar]

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

What is Montserrat energy policy 2016-2030?

(Montserrat Energy Policy 2016-2030). • In-country commitment is vital for the success of partnership projects: The lead partner in Montserrat, the Energy Unit at the Ministry for Communications, Work, Energy and Labour (MCWEL), facilitated the engagement with other organisations.

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.

Why should Montserrat invest in re-sat projects?

The RE-SAT projects has provided the Government of Montserrat with a new renewable energy platform that has been used to support their transition to renewables and a climate resilient future. Montserrat has a vision of achieving 100% renewable energy grid penetration by 2030.
