A cost recovery application for 90MW of battery storage, filed by Barbados Light & Power Company (BLPC), has been only partially approved by the eastern Caribbean island nation’s regulator.

Construction work has started on the first major solar-plus-storage project in the Dominican Republic, which features a 24.8MW/99MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).

Regulators in the Eastern Caribbean island nation of Barbados have opened up a pathway for the widespread deployment of energy storage.
