Niue will achieve a 38% share of renewable energy of total electricity generation by 2020. In 2014, the renewable energy share was 2%. This will in part be delivered by a 10% reduction in residential, commercial and government electricity demand by 2020. This contribution will be maintained through to 2025. Conditional upon additional international assistance, Niue could increase its contribution to an 80% share of renewable energy of total electricity generation, or to even higher levels by 2025.
Niue submitted their Intended nationally determined contributions (INDC) to the UNFCCC Secretariat on the 25th of November 2015.
No further revisions were undertaken and the same document was endorsed and submitted as the First nationally determined contributions on 28th October 2016.
