Proposal: Generating Energy from Renewable Resources in Grenada
Implementing the Tidal Wave Park
This proposal outlines the development of a Wave Energy Park along the coast of Grenada to diversify the country’s renewable energy portfolio, reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, and support sustainable economic growth. By leveraging Grenada’s vast oceanic resources, the Wave Energy Park will deliver clean, reliable, and affordable electricity while positioning Grenada as a regional leader in marine renewable energy innovation.
The immense power of the ocean can be harnessed to extract energy. Seawater is full of energy, which can be utilized in devices like wave machines. Additionally, there is ample water, with 70% of the Earth's surface covered by the ocean. However, wave energy is not easily accessible. It requires extensive, robust facilities. One challenge is that wave power necessitates substantial technical infrastructure, which can still be difficult to manage. These facilities must be situated in areas with significant wave activity, making it essential for them to be highly durable. For instance, they must also withstand intense storms and hurricanes. The wave power industry certainly has the potential to grow as large as the wind power industry, providing a source of clean energy.
Turbine Placement: Underwater turbines are installed near the seafloor or at varying depths. These turbines pump water or create pressure fluctuations that generate surface or subsurface wave patterns. Wave Formation: As the turbines operate, they rhythmically displace large volumes of water. This creates artificial wave patterns on the surface or pressure waves beneath. Energy Harnessing: The artificial waves are directed toward wave energy converters (WECs) strategically positioned nearby. WECs convert the mechanical motion of the waves into electrical energy via hydraulic systems, air turbines, or linear generators. Underwater Turbines
Background & Rationale Grenada relies heavily on imported fossil fuels, which expose the country to volatile oil prices, contribute to carbon emissions, and limit energy security. At the same time, Grenada's coastal geography and consistent wave patterns offer untapped potential for marine-based renewable energy. Wave energy harnesses the kinetic power of ocean waves to generate electricity. Unlike solar and wind, it offers consistent power generation and can significantly complement existing renewable energy systems. Developing a wave energy park would:
Contribute to Grenada’s goal of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2030.
Lower electricity costs and improve energy resilience.
Attract green investments and create local employment.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation.
Site Selection
Preliminary assessments indicate two potential sites: Grand Anse Area (Southwest Coast) – Accessible, with moderate wave activity Soubise/Marquis Bay (East Coast) – Higher wave intensity, ideal for testing stronger output A detailed feasibility and environmental impact assessment (EIA) will determine the most suitable location.

Environmental & Social Impact
The project aligns with Grenada’s NDCs and Blue Economy initiatives. Benefits include: Reduction of approximately 8,000 tons of CO₂ annually. Minimal disruption to marine ecosystems. Skills development and job creation. Educational outreach and STEM opportunities for youth.
Environmental & Social Impact
Grenada is at the forefront of climate action and sustainable development. With political will, international support, and local engagement, the Wave Energy Park can serve as a beacon of innovation for small island states.
Conclusion and Call to Action
We respectfully request the support of the Government of Grenada for:
Endorsement of this initiative
Facilitation of regulatory and permitting processes
Assistance in securing co-financing and partnerships.
Let us work together to make Grenada a clean energy pioneer in the Caribbean.
Implementing Stand-Alone Hydro (SAH)
This proposal outlines a plan for Grenada to adopt Stand-Alone Hydro (SAH) as a renewable energy solution to pump water uphill to a dam, storing potential energy for electricity generation. This system enhances grid stability, reduces fossil fuel dependence, and makes use of Grenada’s renewable resources to create a sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure. With SAH, water used for energy production can be reused continuously to generate energy around the clock.
Background & Need Grenada faces rising energy costs, vulnerability to global fuel price fluctuations, and increasing electricity demands. With limited land and reliance on imported fossil fuels, the country must innovate by maximizing its renewable potential, particularly wind and hydropower.
Project Concept
Stand-Alone Hydro (SAH): This system involves two reservoirs: a lower reservoir and an upper reservoir (dam). SAH pumps water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, reusing it to generate energy each time it flows down through turbines, producing electricity.
Key Benefits Energy Stability: Smooths out fluctuations from wind power, ensuring a continuous supply.
Reduced Fossil Fuel Dependence: Less need for diesel or heavy fuel generators.
Resilience & Sustainability: Builds climate-resilient energy systems aligned with Grenada’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. Economic Efficiency: Stores surplus renewable energy that would otherwise be wasted, enhancing the economic return on renewable investments.
Site Selection Considerations Topography: Identify appropriate locations with natural elevation differences, such as hills and mountains, for reservoir pairing. Environmental Impact: Perform impact assessments to reduce disruption to local ecosystems and water systems.
Implementation Plan Feasibility Study: Hydrological analysis Wind energy resource assessment Technical design and costing
Environmental & social impact assessment
Pilot Phase:
Install a small-scale SAH system Monitor performance and refine models
Scale-Up Phase:
Expand to larger reservoirs and turbine networks
How the system works When water falls from the top of the dam, it strikes the Vertical Power Generation system and flows into the dedicated reservoir. The water is then pumped back to the top of the dams using the power generated by the Vertical Power Generation system. With the system installed at the bottom of the dam, it can address water shortage issues.
How the SAH system works
Conclusion This proposed Stand-Alone Hydro system and the off-grid vertical-axis wind turbines offer Grenada a clean, reliable, and scalable path toward energy independence. By pioneering this innovative renewable energy combination, Grenada can become a model for small island developing states (SIDS) worldwide.
