Overview

GE Vernova’s trailer-mounted TM2500 turbines help deliver fast, flexible, and mobile power—great for peak demand and evolving grid needs.

The challenge

The Bahamas faces growing pressure on its energy system due to:

  • High and rising demand from over 9.6 million annual visitors
  • Grid strain from extreme weather and peak tourism months
  • The need to integrate more renewables while maintaining stability
  • An urgent need for fast-start, mobile power to support grid reliability across islands
  • Short lead times for delivery and installation, especially ahead of seasonal surges
  • Fuel flexibility and rapid deployment to help smooth intermittent solar generation and prepare for cleaner energy source

The solution

To address this, BTL is deploying two TM2500 mobile gas turbines from GE Vernova—each capable of producing up to 30 MW. These trailer-mounted units can be quickly deployed and brought online in weeks, offering a fast, flexible solution for peak demand and grid backup.

The turbines can run on natural gas or liquid fuels and support future decarbonization efforts. Their quick-start capability also makes them well-suited for integrating intermittent renewables, helping to ensure more stable, reliable power across the islands.

This deployment supports the Bahamas’ broader energy goals by delivering fast, flexible power that reinforces grid reliability, enables renewable integration, and helps ensure electricity is available when and where it’s most needed:

  • Supports tourism and economic activity with dependable power during peak seasons and high-demand periods.
  • Improves grid flexibility by providing fast-ramping backup for intermittent solar generation.
  • Delivers mobile energy solutions that can be deployed quickly and relocated as needed to respond to system changes or emergencies.
  • Enables future decarbonization by operating on multiple fuel types, including natural gas and liquid fuels.
  • Strengthens energy resilience across island communities that face frequent weather-related disruptions.

We turned to GE Vernova as the technology of choice. The TM2500 is expected to support the improvement of frequency control and eventually facilitate the connection of more renewable generation to the grid.
