The project, set on government-provided land in the Basseterre Valley, will include a 35.6 MW solar energy plant along with a 44.2 MWh battery storage facility.
The recently commissioned new energy storage plant in Basseterre sits on a 12-acre site northwest of the city, strategically positioned to serve St. Kitts and Nevis'' growing energy demands.
The project is being built in St. Kitts'' Basseterre Valley on a 102-acre plot of government-owned land adjacent to the current SKELEC power station and next to the thriving capital city of
The solar energy plant and the megawatt-hour battery storage facility will be built on 100 acres of crown land located in the Royal Basseterre Valley National Park utilizing a lease agreement.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating
The station uses bifacial solar modules that capture sunlight on both sides—like a sandwich absorbing energy from above and reflected rays below. Paired with AI-driven predictive analytics, the system
The 35.6MW solar energy plant and 44.2MWh battery storage facility is being built in the Basseterre Valley on the island of St. Kitts. SKELEC, St. Kitts electricity utility, is able to make the transition from
