Tuvalu New Energy and New Energy Storage

4 FAQs about Tuvalu New Energy and New Energy Storage

Why does Tuvalu need a solar project?

This solar project echoed Tuvalu's action during COP15 and sent a symbolic message about the importance and necessity of global and concerted actions worldwide to promote renewable energy and mitigate climate change impacts to save threatened countries. However, the majority of Tuvalu's energy sources are imported fossil fuels.

What is Tuvalu's energy supply?

In 2021, fossil fuels accounted for 96 percent of Tuvalu's total energy supply, while solar and other renewable energy sources accounted for 4 percent. Tuvalu's economy is therefore highly vulnerable to fuel prices' volatility, which is why it is critical to find alternative sources of energy for the country's electricity supply.

What is the Tuvalu national energy policy (TNEP)?

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.

Does Tuvalu have a solar system?

The solar system accounted for 5 percent of peak electricity demand in Funafuti (Tuvalu's capital) and 3 percent of Tuvalu's annual household electricity consumption. It contributed to powering Tuvalu's households, healthcare facilities, small and medium enterprises, and other local development infrastructure.

In 2007, Tuvalu was getting 2% of its energy from solar, through 400 small systems managed by the Tuvalu Solar Electric Co-operative Society. These were installed beginning in 1984 and, in the late 1990s, 34% of families in the outer islands had a PV system (which generally powered 1-3 lights and perhaps a few hours a day of radio use). Each of the eight islands had a medical cente
