Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully today welcomed the completion of a third New Zealand-funded solar power system in Tokelau – meaning almost 100 per cent of the territory’s electricity needs are met through solar generation. “The Tokelau Renewable Energy Project is a world first.
Solar Array’s seen on the three tiny islands of Tokelau to completely produce solar power energy. The renewable energy system comprising of solar panels, storage batteries and generators running on biofuel derived from coconut will generate enough electricity to meet 150% of the islands’ power demand.
1. ENERGY The Tokelau Energy system (Power) has been recently upgraded to a 24 hour supply system. While the Energy Department is based in Fakaofo, the management of each power system is the responsibility of each Taupulega. The current energy supply system is about 95% diesel powered and 5% solar.
Solar power plants and coconut biofuel-powered generators switched on in Tokelau has made the islands the world’s first truly renewable nation.’ Imagine a place where the only energy to be found is clean, reliable solar power. Solar Array’s seen on the three tiny islands of Tokelau to completely produce solar power energy.
All three solar plants are expected to be operational before the end of the year,” Mr McCully says. Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully today welcomed the launch of Tokelau’s first solar power system. It is the first of three systems that, when fully operational, will provide almost 100 per cent of Tokelau’s power.
New Zealand company Powersmart is working on the project with IT Power Australia, the Government of Tokelau and the New Zealand Aid programme. “New Zealand is advancing $7 million to Tokelau to fund installation of the systems. All three solar plants are expected to be operational before the end of the year,” Mr McCully says.
