What is the Energy Authority of Suriname?

2016 The Act established the Energy Authority of Suriname for the regulation of the electricity supply sector and introduced renewable energy tenders allowing for the marketisation of renewable energy. 3. Includes a specialisation in sustainable energy management.

What is the energy plan of Suriname?

2017 The Plan provides a framework for the policy programs and measures (inclusive of energy policies) between 2017 to 2021. 2016 The Act established the Energy Authority of Suriname for the regulation of the electricity supply sector and introduced renewable energy tenders allowing for the marketisation of renewable energy. 3.

Why did Suriname's Electricity rate change so much?

This near-zero change can be attributed to a gradual tariff raise in the rate schedule for electricity by the Surinamese government in 2015–2016, in conjunction with efforts to stimulate demand-side energy efficiency. This stabilised total grid load, which had been growing at 6% before this period.

Can Suriname displace fossil fuel-based power generation?

Given the dispatchability of reservoir hydropower plants such as Afobaka [ 10, , , , ], hydro-supported integration of VRE could be a promising avenue for Suriname to displace fossil fuel-based power generation.

Can Suriname support a grid integration of wind power?

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.

How much wind power does Suriname need?

A penetration of at least 23% of wind power in the electricity mix would therefore be technically feasible and economically advantageous for Suriname under the above assumptions, even without demand response and storage measures. 4.3. Sensitivity analysis
