Tuvalu Solar Energy Storage Power Station

4 FAQs about Tuvalu Solar Energy Storage Power Station

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.

How much energy does Tuvalu use a year?

Like many Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Tuvalu has been heavily reliant on imported fuel for its diesel-based power generation system. Through this new FSPV system 174.2 megawatts per hour of electricity will be generated each year, meeting two percent of Funafuti's annual energy demand.

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).

Does Tuvalu need solar energy?

In response, Tuvalu has prioritized renewable energy as a dual strategy for mitigating emissions and adapting to climate impacts. Solar energy, in particular, is well-suited to Tuvalu's tropical climate, which offers abundant sunlight throughout the year.
