WILLEMSTAD – The Government of Curaçao has announced that the current tariffs for the generation and feed-in of renewable electricity will remain unchanged, citing continued attractiveness for households and businesses investing in sustainable energy.
Since November 16, 2011, private individuals and companies on Curaçao have been allowed to generate electricity sustainably for their own use while remaining connected to the public grid. Under the current scheme, electricity fed back into the grid is compensated at a rate of Cg 0.25 per kilowatt-hour, in addition to a fixed monthly fee.
Despite a lower average fuel clause in electricity pricing, the government maintains that investing in renewable energy remains financially viable. According to the authorities, the payback period for end users who produce their own sustainable electricity continues to be below international benchmarks, which typically range between seven and ten years.
Tariffs Remain in Place
As a result, the government confirmed that the existing tariffs will remain in effect. The fixed monthly fees for grid usage, grid connection, and production capacity will continue unchanged. Likewise, the compensation rate for electricity supplied back to the grid will remain at Cg 0.25 per kWh.
According to the government, this rate remains reasonably aligned with the costs of other sources of renewable electricity. “By maintaining the current tariffs as of January 1, 2026, the government ensures that households and businesses can retain a reasonable payback period for their investments,” the statement said.
Continued Growth in Solar Market
The government also noted that the market for photovoltaic (PV) installations continued to grow throughout 2025, reflecting sustained interest from consumers and businesses in generating their own renewable energy.
The decision is part of Curaçao’s broader efforts to encourage sustainable energy production while maintaining stability in the electricity market for both producers and consumers.
