Rakahanga Power Study Report December 2006

This report was prepared by Bruce Clay for the Government of the Cook Islands. This report investigates the current power system on Rakahanga and considers short, medium and long-term options for the development of the system to include local renewable energy sources. In the short term a wind and solar monitoring programme should be initiated to quantify the local renewable energy resource. This could be carried out on Manihiki as the results derived would be applicable to both islands.
