Electricity generation in Antigua and Barbuda is nearly completely reliant on imported petroleum products. Diesel energy comprises 89% of the 87.45 MW of installed capacity for the nation [].The electricity production and distribution are operated by two companies: Antigua Power Company (APC) and Antigua Public Utilities Authorities (APUA) [].APC is the private
That project enabled over 1,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions reduction annually, and up to 100% shares of renewable energy at times. It was also connected to the grid, but with a connection considered somewhat unreliable, and the microgrid is able to "seamlessly transition from grid to islanding" when there is a power outage.
Modern grids need to be reliable as well as low carbon. That''s where energy storage steps in. Image: Wikimedia user Loadmaster (David R Tribble). The February 2021 energy crisis in Texas was yet another stark reminder of just how broken our national power grid is and how difficult the energy transition will be.

This is considering solar, wind, and storage, and not considering hydrogen. Includes hydrogen electrolyser, storage and fuel cell for power-to-hydrogen and hydrogen-to-power. The current power system of Antigua and Barbuda is highly dominated by fossil fuel generation, with only a 3.55% renewable energy share.
Based on the information provided by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, the average household consumes just over 3 000 kilowatt-hours per year (kWh/year) or 8.25 kWh/day. Based on this, it was estimated that a 3 kW solar PV system with battery storage would be added on the rooftop of each household.
It is important to note that there is no battery storage system currently deployed in Antigua and Barbuda, hence the solar systems can only generate electricity during the day when sunlight is available. This makes it indispensable for the heavy fuel oil generators to cover the entire load during evening hours.
From the figure, it is also clear that the HOMER optimisation has estimated solar energy to be the more dominant source of electricity in Antigua and Barbuda to serve most of the load. The dominance of solar PV in meeting most of the total load in this scenario is clearer when observing the installed capacity by technology in Figure 21.
The current power system is widely dominated by fossil fuel generation, and with the plans in place as of 2020, the renewable share would merely increase to 9%. To significantly increase its share of renewables, Antigua and Barbuda should follow the pathway of the optimal system scenario outlined in the Roadmap.
The Green Barbuda Study was prepared by Masdar through the United Arab Emirates – Caribbean Renewable Energy Fund. The study analysed a new power station for Barbuda, consisting of three main power supply components: diesel generation, a solar PV plant and a battery energy storage system with grid-forming inverters.
