From imported fuel to resilient clean power — built for island realities.
The Bonaire Energy Transition is a staged infrastructure program combining utility-scale solar, rooftop solar, battery storage, and grid modernization — designed to deliver stability, affordability, and measurable impact.
Reliability & Resilience
Grid stability, modern protection, dispatchable storage, and operational controls designed for island conditions.
Long-term Affordability
Reduce exposure to oil price volatility, improve efficiency, and stabilize tariffs with a phased delivery model.
Local Value Creation
Training, jobs, and community access programs so the transition benefits residents and businesses.
The Masterplan
A 5-year pathway to 100% fossil-free electricity — structured into phase gates to de-risk delivery, unlock early wins, and scale with confidence.
System pillars
Utility PV • Rooftop solar expansion • Grid-scale & distributed BESS • EMS/SCADA upgrades • Protection & controls • Resilience (islanding / black-start readiness)
Roadmap (phase-gated)
Key targets & outcomes
What “success” means in measurable terms: capacity, storage, stability, and community impact.
Utility PV
~90 MWp total build-out (phased). Designed with curtailment-aware dispatch and grid services.
Rooftop PV
~60 MWp expansion across homes & businesses with safe interconnection standards.
BESS
~200 MWh storage for frequency, peak, spinning reserve replacement, and resilience.
Reliability KPIs
Fewer outages, improved frequency control, and grid protection modernization (phase 1 unlocks).
Cost stability
Lower dependence on imported fuels reduces volatility and supports long-term tariff stability.
Community impact
Solar-for-All pathways, training programs, and local supply chain participation.
