What is the Tuvalu solar power project?
The Government of Tuvalu worked with the e8 group to develop the Tuvalu Solar Power Project, which is a 40 kW grid-connected solar system that is intended to provide about 5% of Funafuti ’s peak demand, and 3% of the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation's annual household consumption.
What was the first large scale solar system in Tuvalu?
The first large scale system in Tuvalu was a 40 kW solar panel installation on the roof of Tuvalu Sports Ground. This grid-connected 40 kW solar system was established in 2008 by the E8 and Japan Government through Kansai Electric Company (Japan) and contributes 1% of electricity production on Funafuti.
Is Tuvalu A good place to invest in wind power?
Beyond the solar farm, Tuvalu is also exploring wind energy opportunities. Preliminary assessments on several outer islands are underway to determine the feasibility of wind power. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to diversify Tuvalu’s renewable energy sources, ensuring a stable and reliable electricity supply.
Where does Tuvalu electricity come from?
Tuvalu's power has come from electricity generation facilities that use imported diesel brought in by ships. The Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC) on the main island of Funafuti operates the large power station (2000 kW).
How many inhabited islands are in Tuvalu?
It is somewhat complicated because Tuvalu consists of nine inhabited islands. The Tuvalu National Energy Policy (TNEP) was formulated in 2009, and the Energy Strategic Action Plan defines and directs current and future energy developments so that Tuvalu can achieve the ambitious target of 100% renewable energy for power generation by 2020.
How will a solar farm benefit the island?
The solar farm will reduce the island’s dependence on diesel generators, which have been the primary electricity source, thereby lowering environmental impact and operational costs. Prime Minister Feleti Teo underscored the project’s significance in a recent address.
