Date TBC: Vergnet, a leading renewable energy company specialising in wind, solar and hybrid energy solutions, recently welcomed the official inauguration of the repowered Petite Place wind farm in Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.
The project, consisting of nine Vergnet GEV MP wind turbines meeting the electricity needs of more than 3,300 inhabitants, reinforces the company’s track record in delivering adaptable technology to suit cyclonic conditions. The Petite Place wind farm is also the first wind farm in France and its overseas territories to be equipped with storage. Vergnet has worked in the Guadeloupe area since 1993 with the region’s local electrical authorities.
With a total of 237 wind turbines in the Caribbean, Vergnet’s commitment and expertise in the region is reflected in the company’s permanent subsidiary based in Guadeloupe. VERGNET CARAIBES opened in 2004 and provides ongoing support and assistance to ensure the wind farms installed by Vergnet and its partners in the Caribbean area are fully available. They include the Petite Place wind farm, along with other wind farms in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Cuba, Nevis, Bahamas and Puerto Rico.
Jérôme Douat, CEO of Vergnet, commented: “Our growth in the Caribbean is a result of strong established relationships with the Caribbean authorities and our individual customers in this area. The recent inauguration of Petite Place wind farm in Guadeloupe is recognition of how our partnerships are meeting essential energy needs across the region. From Nevis and St. Kitts to Martinique, we are delighted that we have had the opportunity to enhance and cement our reputation in delivering customised renewable energy solutions and cost savings in the fast developing region.
“As with many island regions, the use of fossil fuels as an energy source can have a significant financial impact in terms of purchase and safe storage, but our solutions and designs have allowed the region to benefit from renewable, clean energy all year round and ensured a high return on investment for our partners.”
Vergnet’s GEV MP wind turbines have been specifically designed to suit cyclonic areas such as the Caribbean to enable smooth transportation, installation and maintenance.
Vergnet’s turbines are also easily integrated with Vergnet’s patented real-time hybrid controller - Hybrid Wizard™ - to ensure a consistent electricity supply and maximise cost savings. Any combination of wind, photovoltaic solar and battery storage, for new and existing diesel systems is possible with the software. It achieves lower fuel consumption, lower cost per kWh and short payback time for Vergnet customers while also ensuring consistent grid stability and power quality. With a strong R&D team dedicated to design, manufacturing and engineering innovation, Vergnet’s award-winning renewable energy technology has become an industry benchmark.
