Book

The growing electricity demand in the archipelago, increasing by 6% annually, poses significant challenges to its energy supply. Heavy reliance on Diesel Power Plants (DPP) results in high operational costs and severe environmental impacts due to carbon emissions. Despite these challenges, the region holds immense potential for renewable energy that remains largely untapped. This book presents an in-depth analysis of the feasibility of harnessing wind and solar energy using RETScreen Expert software. By evaluating long-term scenarios over 20, 30, and 40 years, the study highlights wind energy as the most viable solution for delivering stable, efficient, and sustainable electricity to the archipelago. Recommending the implementation of Wind Power Plants (WPP), this book provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and investors in designing a strategic transition to greener energy. Beyond technical solutions, the shift to renewable energy offers the potential to improve the quality of life for residents by ensuring a more affordable and environmentally friendly power supply. Explore how wind energy can unlock a brighter and more sustainable future for the archipelago.
