Celebrating 10 Years of Grenlec’s Customer Renewable Energy Interconnection Programme Grenlec voluntarily started its Customer Renewable Energy Interconnection Programme to expand renewable energy generation and provide opportunities for customers who want to install renewable energy systems. Launched in 2007 and the first of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean, the Customer Renewable Energy Interconnection Programme now includes 117 customer-owned renewable energy sites with an aggregate installed capacity of 1.23 MWp. Together, Grenlec and our customers now operate 2.36 MWp of renewable energy systems, representing approximately 7% of peak demand. That’s enough to generate the electricity used by approximately 1,710 average Grenadian homes and offset more than 1,950 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Grenlec’s goal is to help stabilise electricity prices and reduce our dependence on imported fuel by harnessing more energy from renewable sources. We appreciate our customers’ participation in the Customer Renewable Energy Interconnection Programme. Together, we can help create a sustainable future through the wise use of energy. |
