6 FAQs about [Aruba pneumatic energy storage]

Where does Aruba get its electricity from?

Aruba currently gets 15.4% of its electricity from renewable sources. The island has sufficient renewable energy resource potential, with excellent technical potential for ocean, wind, and solar renewable energy generation.

What is stored-up energy and how does it benefit Aruba?

Stored-up energy grants the flexibility necessary to sustain Aruba in its energy independence. The island has enhanced its storage abilities by utilizing BYD’s grid-scale technology, which means that there doesn’t have to be a daily breeze in order for Aruba to have ample energy to sustain itself.

How much energy does Aruba consume annually?

Aruba has an annual consumption of 990 gigawatt-hours (GWh). Currently, about 13% of its generation comes from a 30-MW wind project and 0.9% comes from waste-to-energy (WTE) biogas. An additional renewable capacity of 34 MW is planned or in progress. Aruba's installed generation capacity is 230 megawatts (MW) with an average load of 100 MW.

Does Aruba use ice for building cooling?

Aruba's utility installed a pilot ice storage cooling system that makes ice at night when electricity costs are lower. Ice is then used the following day to cool buildings instead of traditional air conditioning. Currently, Aruba gets 15.4% of its electricity from renewable sources.

What is the cost of electricity in Aruba?

The energy landscape of Aruba, an autonomous member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands located off the coast of Venezuela, is outlined in this profile. Aruba’s utility rates are approximately $0.28 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)\* $below the Caribbean regional average of $0.33/kWh$.

How much wind capacity does Aruba need?

Aruba's 30-MW wind project at Vader Piet currently produces 13% of Aruba's load requirements, with an additional 26.4 MW slated to come online in late 2015. WEB Aruba aims to add 3 MW to 6 MW to the biogas plant, with a goal of using 70% of household waste. Therefore, Aruba needs more wind capacity to meet its energy demands.
