Work will begin this year to solarize the electricity supply on several islands in the southeast Bahamas, Prime Minister Philip Davis said yesterday. "The immediate focus is the introduction and implementation of new models to develop resilient solar PV installations in The Bahamas," said Davis in the 2022/2023 budget communication in the ...
Our comprehensive energy policies work together to modernize our system and bring electricity prices down in The Bahamas. 70MW of solar power and 35MW of Battery Energy Storage Systems will be integrated into the existing grid.
For the first time, The Bahamas is on the path to building utility-scale solar power across our islands. Large photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays will capture the energy from the sun and send it to our country’s electricity grid. What steps are required as The Bahamas moves forward with utility-scale solar power, and what are the costs?
This also encompasses the Government’s goal of The Bahamas having a 30 per cent renewable power generation by the year 2030. The Minister explained that microgrids will ensure consistent and reliable power output for island inhabitants, addressing unique island requirements.
Comprehensive upgrades to our country’s transmission and distribution infrastructure, and switching from heavy and diesel fuels to solar power and natural gas, will create new efficiencies and reduce the price of electricity in The Bahamas. But it won’t happen overnight – it will take time to upgrade our grid and to integrate cleaner energy.
Large photovoltaic (PV) solar arrays will capture the energy from the sun and send it to our country’s electricity grid. What steps are required as The Bahamas moves forward with utility-scale solar power, and what are the costs? Island-by-island planning. Every one of our inhabited islands is different, and requires a unique set of solutions.
The Bahamas has been taking steps to end the state-owned utility’s energy monopoly and reduce the energy sector’s carbon and environmental footprints in line with national and international greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change goals. Government leaders have earmarked $170 million for renewable energy financing in the 2019–2020 budget.

To transform to net zero, the world has started to expand the deployment of renewable energy. Although the supply chain costs and the material prices increased in 2022, the LCOE for a PV system is still lower than that of traditional generation, making solar the renewable energy with the highest installed capacity. As PV becomes increasingly competitive, it is …
