The cost of energy in Curaçao is around US$ 0.33/kWh (Commercial). Increase in prices has led to an increase in interest of renewable energy sources such as seawater air conditioning, wind energy and solar power. Studies show that 95% of the wind in Curaçao comes from the same direction with almost constant speeds (average wind speeds at 30 m is 8-9 m/s) creating good conditions for Wind Farms. Curaçao has three Wind Farms which are situated at Playa Kanoa and Tera Kora. The local government is committed to clean energy as the Caribbean leader in wind energy. Small businesses and inhabitants with a solar power system have the ability to offset the electricity costs by selling excess power back to the local utility company.
