The Barbados National Energy Company Ltd. (BNECL), in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), is leading the installation of 10 MW of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across the island.
Equipped with a robust 15kW hybrid inverter and 35kWh rack-mounted lithium-ion batteries, the system is seamlessly housed in an IP55-rated cabinet for enhanced protection against water. The 120kWh battery works in grid-tied, grid-backup, and off-grid modes with over 90% efficiency.
Barbados has reached the maximum capacity of the electric grid and the Barbados Light and Power Company has been advising that it is unable to connect homeowners and residential PV systems to the grid without the addition of storage.
The Government of Barbados has officially launched a major procurement process for the country's first large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), aimed at transforming the national electricity grid and unlocking delayed renewable energy investments.
With the 60MW/240MWh national BESS tender officially concluding on March 6, 2026, the market now shifts from planning to execution, creating unprecedented opportunities for developers, industrial energy users, and commercial property owners.
