Solar Power Ltd. (GRENSOL). The company distributes, installs, and monitors both grid-tied and standalone self-generation systems (GRENSOL 2010). At least 21 PV installations of less than 10 kW were active by 2008 (Posorski & Werner 2009, p. 67), and distributed PV capacity reached 74 kW by 2009 (Hosten 2009, p. 6). The development of GRENLEC’s interconnection policy and standards for private solar installations were motivated primarily by GRENSOL’s entry into the distributed PV market (Hosten 2009, p. 18). GRENLEC had intentions to pilot utility-scale solar PV and solar-thermal technology by 2011 but as of December 2011 there were no records of their implementation. Furthermore GRENLEC is considering a 200-kW wind/PV demonstration system (Hosten 2009, pp. 16, 20). 3.4.9.5 Biomass and Other Unlike many small islands in the region, Grenada’s agricultural industry has remained active despite the hurricanes in the 2000s, through its export of nutmeg and mace (CIA 2010). Loy and Farrell report an opportunity for biogas production from nutmeg shells, but there do not appear to be any developments in this area (Loy & Farrell 2005, p. 23). The government also is considering incentives to promote solar dryers and biodigesters for the agricultural sector (Burke 2009). There have been reports of a desire to pursue waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies. WTE was a recommended alternative to the long term solid waste reduction, treatment and disposal in Grenada (Hydroplan, 2010), The Government through the Grenada Solid Waste Management Authority (GSWMA) has an invitation for Expression of Interest.running where it intends to select a suitable Waste-to-Energy partner by the third quarter of 2012 (GSWMA, 2012). 3.4.10 Interconnections Although Grenada is relatively close to Trinidad and Tobago, it is unlikely that the nation would be connected to the Eastern Caribbean Gas Pipeline due to tectonic issues (Nexant 2010, p. 7.7). Further, there does not appear to be interest in local interconnections between Grenada to Carriacou, Petit Martinique and the other Grenadines, likely due to their small markets. 3.4.11 Energy Sector Regulatory Framework Analysis Although the government of Grenada still must finalize its energy policies, the private sector has assumed leadership in RE progress in Grenada. Paradise Bay is the first resort in the region to install its own wind turbine; GRENSOL has created a market for solar PV self-generation; and the utility GRENLEC has initiated a comprehensive interconnection policy for distributed generation tie-in to the electrical grid. The National Ozone Unit program can serve as a model outreach program for other low-carbon and sustainability initiatives. 3.4.12 Legal and Regulatory Framework With regard to the institutional framework, the Ministry of Finance, Planning, Economy, Energy and Cooperatives is the institution tasked with executing Grenada’s energy portfolio through its Department of Energy and Sustainable Development. The role of the department, among other things, is to ensure adequate, reliable and economical energy services to sustain economic development, while satisfying the current and projected demands; encourage and promote the use of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency alternatives; promote energy efficiency and energy conservation at all levels of the economy, in order to achieve optimum economic use of renewable and non-renewable sources of energy; and promote, encourage and facilitate petroleum exploration and development in environmentally friendly (sustainable) manner (Government of Grenada 2009). 58PDF Image | Energy Policy and Analysis Caribbean
