Feed-in tariffs renewable electricity generation 2021

Since November 16, 2011 it is possible for households and businesses on Curaçao to generate renewable electricity for own use purposes in combination with a connection to the electricity network. The current tariffs which are applicable with regard to feeding in renewable electricity in the electricity network, consist of a feed-in tariff of NAF. 0,25 per kWh in combination with a fixed monthly fee of NAF. 8,00, NAF. 16,00 or NAF. 24,00 per installed kWp, to be paid to the electricity company.

The market for PV-installations demonstrated a slight growth during 2019, which growth continued during 2020. An important factor concerns the investment for a solar installation which decreased on average, in combination with the reasonably stable level of the regular electricity tariffs during 2020 after these increased in 2019. This has a favorable effect on the pay-back period for PV-installations due to the resulting savings for end users with a PV-installation for own use.

Based on the yearly evaluation according to the ‘Tariff guidelines for small scale renewable electricity generation’, the Government of Curaçao decided to maintain the abovementioned tariffs. The fixed monthly fee which is charged to cover the costs for the use and availability of the network, the network connection and generation capacity, will remain unchanged. The feed-in tariff will also be maintained at NAF. 0,25 per kWh as this is still in line with the current (development of the) fuel clause.
