The [[21st_Century_Burgoignesc_Power_Projection_Stratagem#BORA_Waste_to_Energy_Compact|BORA Waste to Energy Compact]] went into effect in [[2027]] with construction of 4 Waste to Energy power planta starting in [[2028]]. The two plants built in Alcairet generates approximately 416,000 kWh/day with a waste reduction capacity of 440,000 kg/day. | |||
Most of the electricity in Alcairet is provided by the el-Fawaz Nuclear Power Station. El-Fawaz has a pair of {{wp|Generation IV reactor|Gen IV}} reactors and was rebuilt in [[2018]] to replace the {{wp|Generation II reactor|Gen II}} reactors built in [[1987]], itself replacing a fossil fuel burning station that had previously powered the island. The islands also have 6 solar plants, and residential and commercial solar panels are subsidized by the province. Three offshore wind farms off the eastern coast taking advantage of the [[Prevailing Winds|trade winds]] provide 16MW. Since [[2014]], a tidal power facility was built off the western coast of the islands and it generates 8MW. | |||
There is also an undersea power and internet cable from Bulkhawan Province, [[Bulkh]] that supplies some energy as the grid fluctuates. | |||
