Bird International Airport Antigua, in collaboration with the government of Antigua and
Antigua and Barbuda receives an average of 268 hours of sunlight per month, making solar energy a considerable potential source and, in fact, it is currently widely used to heat water in the country. In addition, wind energy, which was extensively used in colonial times as evidenced with remnants of windmills throughout the country, may also be harnessed.
With the Caribbean -island state of Antigua and Barbuda having committed to achieving an entirely renewable energy system by 2030, as part of a path to a net-zero carbon economy by mid century, a study prepared by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has placed solar front and center of the energy transition needed.
Antigua and Barbuda's electricity tariffs are among the highest in the Caribbean region. Allowing private sector participation in the renewable energy market and diversifying the energy matrix in line with the National Energy Policy can bring significant cost reduction.
Crucially, the current electricity cost of $0.15/kWh in Antigua and Barbuda could be reduced to $0.105/kWh under such a generation mix, with a low of $0.09/kWh possible under the most capital intensive, all-clean-energy-plus-hydrogen-and-EVs approach.
Antigua and Barbuda can become energy independent, as it is technically possible. However, achieving this will require a significant political effort.
For residents on Barbuda, who lost their energy infrastructure with the landing of Hurricane Irma in September 2017, IRENA has built upon the power mix suggested by UAE state-owned Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company in 2018.
