When to consider Wind and solar energy
in Trinidad and Tobago:
If you are a residential T&TEC customer,
Wind and Solar energy may not be for you. Why?
A typical residential customer of T&TEC pays an
estimated bi-monthly bill of $250/- equal to $1500/- per year.
In ten years the total amount paid to T&TEC is only $15,000/-
The cost of a Wind and Solar combo system together with
the batteries for electricity supply at night is more than
$150,000/- There must be a good reason to justify the cost
for residential applications. A good reason is combining
residential electricity with electric transportation.
If you are a residential customer and the nearest
T&TEC pole is at a distance of ten poles or more
away from you, you may consider Wind and Solar
energy. Why?
To supply T&TEC power to you, you need to pay for the
installation of light poles at the rate of $20,000 per pole
when you are more than 100 feet (about 30 metres) away
from the nearest supply line.
If you are at a distance of 1000 feet (about 300 metres) away
from the nearest T&TEC light pole you end up paying $200,000
to bring the T&TEC supply line to you. This cost is more than
the average cost of a Wind and Solar combo system including
the batteries required to supply the power at night
If you are a residential customer using a gasoline
or a diesel generator and paying $300/- or more per week
for your electrical needs, you may consider
Wind and Solar energy. Why?
At the rate of $300/- per week for gasoline or diesel for your
generator set, you will be spending more than $15,000/- per
year for gasoline or diesel., and a total of $150,000 In ten years.
You have to put up with the noise, the fumes, and the labour
for bringing the fuel week after week for ten years.
You may consider Wind and Solar energy to eliminate the
noise, the fumes, and the labour.
If you are a commercial customer of T&TEC and
paying more than $5,000/- per month, you may
consider Wind and Solar energy. Why?
At a minimum payment of $5,000/- per month, you will
be paying $60,000/- per year to T&TEC for a total of $600,000/-
in ten years. A Wind and Solar combo system including the
required batteries is cheaper than the money you pay to T&TEC
in ten years.
The cost of Wind and Solar energy is coming down
together with residential energy storage batteries.
Couva Wind and Solar specializes in optimizing the
combo systems to your electrical energy needs.
Combined with electric transportation, Wind and Solar
energy is the way to go in the future.
