This award-winning project—recognized as the 2025 CREF Microgrid of the Year—features three independent solar-powered microgrids designed to serve the entire island, dramatically reducing
View DetailsThe Bahamas Grid Company manages the poles, wires and substations that carry power across New Providence. Together with Bahamas Power and Light and the island's power generators, we ensure access to reliable, resilient, affordable and sustainable power to all Bahamian consumers and businesses.
This transformation will incorporate a variety of sustainable energy sources, including: Microgrids will play a key role in The Bahamas' energy transformation. Benefits for The Bahamas Microgrids will provide energy security, particularly on Family Islands, by producing local electricity, reducing fuel reliance, and stabilizing energy costs.
If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to the main electric grid when it is generating excess power.
A 2018 study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that microgrids in the Continental U.S. cost an average of $2 million-$5 million per megawatt.
