utility scale ESS project financing options in Bahamas 2026

How does a comprehensive energy policy work in the Bahamas?

Our comprehensive energy policies work together to modernize our system and bring electricity prices down in The Bahamas. 70MW of solar power and 35MW of Battery Energy Storage Systems will be integrated into the existing grid.

How will a new energy system affect the Bahamas?

Comprehensive upgrades to our country’s transmission and distribution infrastructure, and switching from heavy and diesel fuels to solar power and natural gas, will create new efficiencies and reduce the price of electricity in The Bahamas. But it won’t happen overnight – it will take time to upgrade our grid and to integrate cleaner energy.

Why is electricity so expensive in Bahama?

Electricity is too expensive. For Bahamian families and businesses, electricity bills are a major expense, adding to the high cost of living and high cost of doing business. Power outages are too frequent, and affect the quality of life and the ability of businesses to compete. Our energy infrastructure is old and failing.
