Overview. The project sets a strong precedent for using renewable energy to drive down energy costs on the outer islands. Located on Union Island, the 600kW solar PV plant is connected to a 637 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery, extending its generating capacity to supply all of Union Island''s daytime power requirements.
A photovoltaic system will be added to the generation mix on Union Island in keeping with a mandate by the Government of St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) and St Vincent Electricity Services Limited (VINLEC) to
Cabinet of the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and VINLEC regulates the power sector in the country.8 In 2020, the system losses stood at 7.16% indicating a reasonably efficient infrastructure.8 800 kW solar PV with battery energy storage system was installed in the country in 2019 helping the country march
