• In 2018 a 500 kWp solar generation system with 1680 solar panels was installed and integrated at the diesel plant at a village at the interior of Suriname. • Renewable projects are not only planned in the interior. The operational cost for thermal generation run high. That is why the policy of the Energy Company Suriname is aimed at obtaining more energy from renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy , biomass, hydro energy and so on. For example, a start will soon be made in Nickerie and Coronie with the construction of several solar power stations with a capacity of 2x1MWp and 1X300kWp .
