Suriname's hydropower plant can support substantial grid integration of wind power. Thermal power could be cost-effectively displaced by hydro-supported wind power. Suriname could, on average, reach 20%–30% penetration of hydro-supported wind power. Such strategies could benefit various island states and regions with isolated grids.
Given the island-like nature of Suriname's main grid, these methods and results also provide starting points for investigating comparable synergetic hydro-wind-solar planning in several other Caribbean countries and island states.
Suriname could, on average, reach 20%–30% penetration of hydro-supported wind power. Such strategies could benefit various island states and regions with isolated grids. The Caribbean nation of Suriname has historically depended on a mix of hydropower and oil-based fossil fuels for meeting electricity needs.
As potential wind turbine deployment in Suriname would presumably happen in stages, the costs for each consecutive project could realistically be lower than for preceding projects as technology progresses and wind turbines with higher hubs (reaching higher capacity factors) become cheaper, allowing for penetration rates potentially beyond 30%.
The US$ 11.8 million project to install hybrid renewable micro-grid systems at Cajana and Galibi is a part of a broader initiative to enhance energy access and support a just energy transition
