SOLAR BATTERIE HAUS ST KITTS AND NEVIS
St Kitts and Nevis outdoor energy storage liquid-cooled battery
The Basseterre Energy Storage Project – St. Kitts and Nevis' $200 million crown jewel – is turning this vision into reality. As the largest utility-scale battery storage system in the Eastern Caribbean, it's not just storing electrons; it's rewriting the rules of island energy independence [3] [10]. [pdf]
Construction of the St Lucia Wind Solar and Energy Storage Project
Construction work will include the development of 10 MW of solar power along with an energy storage system with two-hour lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of approximately 13 MW / 26 MWh, as well as connection to LUCELEC’s 66 kV transmission grid.

What is the best energy source for Saint Lucia?
The NETS findings indicate that a portfolio of utility-owned solar, distributed solar, wind, and diesel together with energy storage offers the best economics for Saint Lucia.
How does electricity work in Saint Lucia?
The island’s 180,000 residents and tourism-driven economy depend heavily on reliable electricity service. Today, that electricity is generated almost exclusively from imported diesel fuel, leaving Saint Lucia vulnerable to a costly and volatile energy source.
Is Saint Lucia a model for other small island developing states?
Saint Lucia’s leadership in pursuing the NETS and the subsequent 3 MW solar farm solidify the island nation’s position as a leader in the region and a model for other small island developing states that face similar challenges and opportunities in pursuing a sustainable energy transition.
Why is Saint Lucia a good place to live?
At the same time, the island boasts strong renewable resource potential, including solar, wind, and geothermal. Developing these resources in a manner that preserves the natural environment, supports local employment, and ensures a reliable and cost-effective electricity system represents a challenge and an opportunity for leaders in Saint Lucia.
Where is Saint Lucia located?
In the southern Lesser Antilles lies the green, mountainous island of Saint Lucia, famous for the scenic Piton mountains and honeymooners. The island’s 180,000 residents and tourism-driven economy depend heavily on reliable electricity service.
