Grenada's latest outdoor power field project is redefining how Caribbean nations approach renewable energy. Located near Grand Anse Beach, this 18-acre facility combines solar arrays with advanced battery storage – a game-changer for island communities vulnerable to power outages.
This phase centers on the ongoing exploration and development of a utility-scale photovoltaic system, operated by the most suitable Independent Power Producer (IPP), as a renewable energy source aimed at strengthening Grenada's energy security and decreasing reliance on imported.
This initiative, supported by the Caribbean Development Bank and the World Bank, involves the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of a 10. 2 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
This has accelerated the shift from traditional valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries to lithium-ion alternatives in countries like Germany and France, where telecom operators must comply with circular economy principles.
