Swiss energy storage company Leclanché has broken ground on a US$70 million solar and storage microgrid project in St Kitts and Nevis. The system will include a 35.7MW solar farm and a 14.8MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 45.5MWh, providing state-owned utility St Kitts Electric Company (SKELEC) with
On successful completion of this fully integrated solar photovoltaic system and a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS), the facility will supply Saint Kitts with 30% to 35% of consumers'' annual electricity
The storage system will be used to help meet the power demand when the solar PV is not generating. It also will improve the grid stability and serve as a backup to the remaining diesel generators. The $70 million project in the hands of the state-owned St. Kitts Electric Company (SKELEC) has been under development for almost two years.

Over the past several years, St. Kitts and Nevis has implemented several energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. In 2014, a light bulb exchange program was launched to replace existing residential lighting with 323,000 LED bulbs at a cost of roughly $2.5 million; the manufacturing sector underwent a comprehensive energy audit; and
The combined Solar+Storage system features advanced inverters and the Leclanché EMS to smooth out fluctuations and manage the stability of the grid. The Solar+Storage system will provide St. Kitts with a reliable and renewable clean energy source with fixed cost savings compared to the current diesel-generated power system. The system will
The introduction of battery energy storage systems (BESS) facilities will greatly enhance the island''s ability to integrate renewable energy into the grid, stabilise power supply, and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. While the exact battery chemistry in use has not been specified, the emphasis on BESS suggests a likely reliance on lithium-ion technology, which is
by Eulana Weekes St. Kitts and Nevis (WINN): The General Manager of the St.Kitts Electricity Company, Mr. Clement Jomo Williams has informed the public of the pending construction of the ''Lechlanche Solar-powered Farm'' in the Basseterre Valley area. Mr. Williams confirmed that some activity will take place at the site soon, notwithstanding that there have []
There are high power losses of 20% on Nevis and 17% on St Kitts suggesting maintenance problems. St Kitts has installed capacity of 43 mW and Nevis 13.4 mW but government has plans for a further 70 mW. The airport has a 1 mW solar farm and the government estimate a potential 16mW of solar power at a rate of 5 kWhrs per m2 over the whole island.
"It must be mentioned that the installation of effective energy efficient Solar/PV Panels will offer several advantages and benefits to the St. Kitts- Nevis Bureau of Standards, including the reduction of the energy bill by approximately 60 to 70 percent as compared to the consumption of the existing national grid electrical system, the
