According to estimates from the United States' National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Grenada could eventually generate up to 20 MW from wind, 25 to 50 MW from solar, and more than 50 MW from geothermal energy.
The MOID ( Ministry of Infrastructure Development, Public Utilities, Energy, Transport, and Implementation) is responsible for energy programs in Grenada. MOID handles the majority of permitting related to energy projects.
MOID handles the majority of permitting related to energy projects. Electricity self generators must apply for a permit through the PURC ( Public Utilities Regulatory Commission ), Grenada's regulatory authority for energy.
Electricity self generators must apply for a permit through the PURC ( Public Utilities Regulatory Commission ), Grenada's regulatory authority for energy. GRENLEC ( Grenada Electricity Services) is the formerly privatized, now nationalized, electrical company of Grenada. Grenada does not have a national oil company.
Companies began to search for offshore oil and gas in Grenada's waters in 2017 following the passage of a Hydrocarbon Exploration Incentive Bill. The area of focus is where the maritime boundaries of Grenada and Trinidad and Tobago meet. During a 2018 exploration by Global Petroleum Group, indications of natural gas were found.
During 2016, Grenada consumed 2,000 barrels of refined petroleum products per day, all of which were imported through the St. George's port. Grenada has a reliance on imported diesel , primarily from the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
