Grenada wind solar storage and rural forest complementarity

How can Grenada achieve a sustainable future?

3.1. Intensify the diversification of generation mix and develop the potential of Grenada’s indigenous energy resources (geothermal, wind, solar), increasing the share of electricity generated by renewable energy sources, in conjunction with the pledged climate mitigation efforts and the gradual phasing out of fossil fuels 3.1.a.

What role do governance and institutional reforms play in Grenada''s energy sector?

Governance and institutional reforms play a central role in the development of Grenada’s energy sector: affective functional institutions working in coordination are a key ingredient for the successful deployment of sustainable energy, ensuring the adequate and transparent allocation of funds to achieve the policies.

What are the implications of k-means classification of global land-based solar–wind complementarity?

Table 1. Implications for regional energy systems derived from K-means classification of global land-based solar–wind complementarity over the period 1950–2021. Ideal for hybrid solar–wind systems; leverage seasonal offsets to minimize storage needs and ensure stable energy output.

Do regional patterns inform hybrid energy planning for land-based resource use?

Regional patterns inform hybrid energy planning for land-based resource use. Solar and wind resources vary across space and time, affecting the performance of renewable energy systems. Global land-based complementarity between these two resources from 1950 to 2021 is examined to inform hybrid energy planning.
