Database: Wind & solar power plants
There is a huge potential for renewable energy applications on islands. Due to the traditionally very high electricity prices for island off-takers and because of international support schemes
renewable energy applications on islands have a long history. There is a huge number of small applications which could not be considered in this database. We are applying the following
criteria:
- wind or solar installations
- 200 kWp or more
- main focus: hotels / resorts, rural electrification, private islands
- cases in which the islands is connected with a sea-cable to the mainland are not considered
- so far there is no strict definition for an islands, some exceptions are indicated (Hawaii, Azores, Canary Islands, etc.)

Comment: : The solar plant uses a battery backup system to store energy, providing an uninterruptible ability to supply energy to the reverse osmosis filtration plant, which provides water to the residents of the resort area and irrigation for the golf course. The gensets are only for back-up use. The current 1MW solar plant is the 1st phase of the solar project. The resort intends in the very near future to proceed with full solar and thermal energy totaling 4MW at their 300 acres estate, serving our rooms, restaurants etc. http://www.cuisinartresort.com/
