Many of the world’s Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have started to integrate renewables into their electricity supply mix.

This guide from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) can assist in decision making and help to carry out successful technical planning studies on solar and wind integration into SIDS power systems.
