6 FAQs about [Curaçao powerup energy]

How much does energy cost in Curacao?

Energy Snapshot Curacao This profile provides a snapshot of the energy landscape of Curacao, an autonomous member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands located of the coast of Venezuela. Curacao’s utility rates are approximately $0.26 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), below the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh.

What is Curacao's energy policy?

In 2009, Curacao developed an energy policy document, which sets out general guidance and governing principles for further study of energy issues.4 It suggests the goal of reducing energy consumption by 40% by 2020 and encour- ages the investigation of combining wind power with storage to provide 100% of the island’s energy needs.

Does Curacao need electricity?

Like many island nations, Curacao is highly dependent on imported fossil fuels (more than 95% of the island’s electricity is generated using petroleum-based fuels), leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity.

Why does Curacao use wind energy?

Curacao’s long history with wind energy has provided it with valuable experience in integrating variable energy resources into the electrical system while also demonstrating the value of avoiding petroleum-based electricity generation.

How much power will a new PPA produce in Curaçao?

The three parks jointly have a possible power production of 67.45 MW. Now that the new PPA has been signed, technicians from Aqualectra and NuCapital will start the preparatory work necessary to realize this immense project for the benefit of the energetic future of Curaçao. This project involves an investment of approximately US$50 million.

Why does Curacao face energy security issues?

Curacao faces energy security issues not only due to its reliance on imported fuels but also because of the age of its generation infrastructure. Thirty megawatts (MW) of Aqualectra’s generation portfolio is beyond its expected service life and the surplus power from the RdK refinery is subject to frequent outages.
