Yes, St. Kitts and Nevis has a National Energy Policy (NEP). The key provisions of this policy include connecting large-scale independent power providers and many distributed renewable energy systems to the electrical grid. Not all generation is made publically available; this chart provides known and referenceable data.
Reports indicate that in St. Kitts and Nevis, higher losses are largely attributable to nontechnical losses such as unmetered consumption, leading to losses that are higher than the U.S. Energy Information Administration's average transmission and distribution loss of 6%. By comparison, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports an average transmission and distribution loss of 6%.
The electricity rates in the Federation of St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis are $0.26 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This is lower than the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh.
St. Kitts and Nevis is heavily reliant on fossil fuels for electricity generation, leaving it vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations that directly impact the cost of electricity. The government subsidizes the fuel charge for residential customers, partially shielding that sector from price volatility.
The system losses in St. Kitts are about 17%, while Nevis has higher system losses of 20.3%. By comparison, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports an average transmission and distribution loss of 6%.
Short-term development plans include 5.4 MW of wind on St. Kitts and 10 MW of geothermal on Nevis. Additional 20 MW of wind, 5 MW of solar, and 35 MW of geothermal is planned.
