Tuvalu Renewable Energy Study

Helping Tuvalu Move Toward 100 Percent Renewable Energy Generation

By 2020, the Pacific island state of Tuvalu aims to become the first country in the world to generate 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources such as solar, wind, and biofuel. At present, some 77 percent of the country''s installed capacity comes from a power station on the island of Funafuti. On the country''s outer islands, antiquated and inefficient diesel-run

Renewable energy in Tuvalu

Renewable energy in Tuvalu is a growing sector of the country''s energy supply. Tuvalu has committed to sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable energy. This is considered possible because of the small size of the population of Tuvalu and its abundant solar energy resources due to its tropical location.

ENERGY PROFILE Tuvalu

Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.

6 FAQs about [Tuvalu wind energy storage]

Why should Tuvalu invest in wind energy?

Development of wind energy offers another opportunity to Tuvalu: to tackle the important issue of water supply. When the supply of electricity exceeds the demand, the additional capacity can be used for water desalinization or water purification.

How can Tuvalu protect its energy supply?

Protect Tuvalu’s energy supply from the whims of the international market. Using specific bioenergy technologies such as biogas digestion can help reduce pollution, run-off and contamination from organic waste, including human and animal sewage, therefore preventing land, sea, and groundwater contamination.

How much energy is wasted in Tuvalu?

Only 3,232 toe (71%) of primary energy supply reached an end-use category. 1,341 toe (29% of primary energy supply) was wasted, mainly due to low electricity generation efficiency. Tuvalu’s electricity consumption is increasing rapidly at a 3.8% yearly average rate over the last ten years. It reached 4,121 MWh in 2004.

What is Tuvalu's energy plan?

Tuvalu has two stated goals: • To generate electricity with 100% renewable energy by 2020 • To increase energy efficiency on Funafuti by 30%. The Plan is intended for use by the Government of Tuvalu (GoT), the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC), potential donors, community representatives and other relevant stakeholders.

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 is the main source of energy in Tuvalu?

The primary energy consumption represents the upstream supply. The only national energy source is biomass (18% of total consumption). Photovoltaic and thermal solar contribute for less than 1%. The balance of supply is oil (Fig. 2). Tuvalu is close to being a totally oil dependent economy.
