2018 ENERGY REPORT CARD GRENADA This document presents Grenada Energy Report Card (ERC) for 2018. The ERC provides an overview of energy sector performance in Grenada. The ERC also includes energy effi-ciency, projects, technical assistance, workforce, training and capacity building information, subject to the availability of data.
The RFF project in Grenada aims to support the country''s low-carbon energy transition and COVID-19 green recovery effort. The project conducted in 2022 has delivered its products, including an electricity demand profile, an assessment of renewable energy potentials, review of generation plans and costs.
For instance, energy management systems in the context of electric vehicles (Liu et al., 2020), IoT''s (Golpîra and Bahramara, 2020), intelligent transportation (Yang et al., 2020), photo-voltaic systems (Langer and Volling, 2020), and virtual power plants (Sheidaei and Ahmarinejad, 2020) are also emerging topic in the intelligent energy

The origins of Intelligent Energy began at Loughborough University in the UK during the late 1980s, [1] when the University became one of Europe''s first research and development centres for proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology. In 1995, the UK''s first kW-level PEM fuel cell stack was produced by the R&D team. In June of that year, Advanced Power Sources

developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided

Dr Ashley Kells, Intelligent Energy Programme Director, said: "The support provided by the APC has been fundamental to the development of this passenger car fuel cell system, along with the valuable input of the other programme partners. The IE-DRIVE™ product is a ground-breaking advancement in the automotive industry and the work we have
Integrating energy systems in an intelligent way is a critical skill for the engineers, project managers, planners, policymakers, and scientists of the future. The program "Intelligent and Integrated Energy Systems" comes at the right time
The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) of Grenada is inviting expressions of interest (EOIs) for a renewable energy project at the island nation''s main international airport. The project aims to increase Grenada''s reliance on renewable energy and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
Grenada has had success with implementing energy effi-ciency and renewable energy projects. To date, GRENLEC has assessed five sites on the main island and two on Carriacou for wind farm feasibility. A wind-die-sel hybrid has been discussed for Petite Martinique, but its development is on hold.
Grenada’s electrical grid stretches across the three main inhabited islands and is served by a single electrical utility, Grenada Electricity Services Limited (GRENLEC), which has the exclusive license to generate, transmit, distribute, and sell electricity through December 31, 2073.
The 2015 electricity rates in Grenada are $0.34 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), in line with the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh. Like many island nations, Grenada is almost 100% reliant on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation, leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity.
Solar photovoltaics (PV) have high potential on Grenada because the country’s global horizontal irradiation exceeds 5 kWh/square meters per day. A 2- to 4-MW PV installation is planned, but no utility-scale solar plants are currently in operation.
According to data from 2014, the costs of utility-scale solar in Grenada are estimated to be between $0.21/kWh and $0.44/kWh; wind costs are estimated to be between $0.05/kWh and $0.20/kWh.
Geothermal studies reveal a potential of approximately 50 MW of baseload power; two 20-MW geothermal projects have similarly stalled in development. Solar photovoltaics (PV) have high potential on Grenada because the country’s global horizontal irradiation exceeds 5 kWh/square meters per day.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
