Final On-Grid Report - Renewable Energy Supply to the Four Island Grids in Tonga 2010

Development partners are working with the GoT to develop and implement the Tonga Energy Road Map.  The relevant target established as part of the Tonga Energy Road Map is to achieve a 50% reduction in diesel consumption. This is considered technically feasible by 2014/15, through a combination of demand side management (DSM), efficiency improvements (loss reduction) at Tonga Power Limited (TPL) and introducing grid connected renewable energy supply.  However, there are constraints to achieving this target that will need to be managed.

Tuvalu Master Plan for Renewable Electricity and Energy Efficiency in Tuvalu, 2012 - 2020

This Renewable Energy Master Plan is the outcome of the Government of Tuvalu vision made in 2008 for Tuvalu to become 100% renewable energy for all its power generation by the end of 2020. The local name “Enetise Tutumau” is firmly embedded in the Tuvalu’s Energy Strategy with the goal to convert Tuvalu’s electricity generation from 100% diesel to 100% renewable energy. This document is directly linked to “Te Kakeega II 2015”, “Te Kaniva (Climate Change Policy) 2012” and the “Tuvalu National Energy Policy”.

Tuvalu National Energy Policy

This Tuvalu National Energy Policy (TNEP) is the first ever produced in an attempt to clearly define  and  direct  current  and  future  energy  developments  and  usages  throughout  Tuvalu. TNEP was developed by the Energy Department and SOPAC following successive consultation workshops that were conducted by a Technical Assistant from SOPAC and energy stakeholders on Funafuti in 2005.

New Energy - Wind and Sun Bring Independence

Article is from a Magazine Article regarding purely regenerative energy supply. Article produced by the Research & Development Unit of the Grid Management and Control System of Younicos AG in Berlin, Germany. One of the Azore Islands in mid-Atlantic: Plenty of sunshine. Constant wind. But miles away from any power grid or any filling station for diesel generators. The obvious solution? Switch to regenerative energy sources for the entire island’s electricity supply. In other words, power from the sun and the wind.
