The energy mix in Port de Vent is 47% nuclear, 24% gas and diesel thermal, 19% renewables, and 10% biomass or other. | |||
There are two nuclear power stations, Renaux Nuclear Power Center on l'Iles Capræs and Gaia-Melite Power Generation Station.L'Iles Capræs and Gicupicu also have massive floating solar arrays. In L'Iles Capræs, these array connect Gran Capræ to some of its islands in a solar-bridge infrastructure cluster. | |||
Most of the islands have undersea power cables connecting them either to each other or to surrounding nations, as is the case in Gicupicu and the [[Krasoa Islands]]. | |||

Agrinergie has exploded in use since it was introduced in [[2016]]. The large farming concerns have started using it and while it has proliferated to the point of having an impact on the grid, it does reduce demand on the grid and many of the farms are at least 8% energy self sufficient. That being said, as the farms on the islands are becoming more automated and mechanical their increased demand of energy is outpaced the increased adoption of agrivoltaics. In total about 6MW of energy is harvest via agrivoltaics across the islands. These arrays are primarily in the leeward side of the islands to maximize their solar exposure im lieu of having them in the windward side that experiences the monsoon season more severely and therefore a reduced solar exposure period. | |||
