ENERGY PROFILE Nauru
Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country''s land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across the classes (for comparison).
Nauru: Solar Power Development Project
The cost of power generation in Nauru is high - regularly more than $0.40 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), depending on international fuel prices. Historically, tariffs did not cover the cost of supplying power, so the government had to bear
Nauru Energy Sector Overview
The Nauru Energy Policy Framework (NEPF) was endorsed in 2009 and layout broad aims and strategies for the energy sector, including power, renewable and energy efficiency. The NUC currently provides all electricity services to Nauru except for RPC and the main processing plant of RONPHOS. The status of the utility as a

6 FAQs about [Nauru solar panel electricity price]
Does Nauru need solar power?
"Now Nauru's power generation mainly relies on diesel. That's expensive and would pollute the environment," said John Scott, who has been working for the project since 2022. "There is a lot of sunshine here and it's good for solar power. I believe electricity supply here will be much better when the project is completed," Scott told Xinhua.
Why is Nauru so vulnerable to solar energy?
Solar energy is the only proven renewable energy resource which could be utilised in short to medium term to reduce dependency on fuel imports for electricity generation. The country’s vulnerability is also increased by its isolation from other Pacific Islands. In 2012, SPC released an energy profile of Nauru based on 36 energy security indicators.
Does Nauru have an energy road map?
Currently Nauru is working on an Energy Road Map, including action plans for the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency sufficient to significantly lower imports of diesel fuel for electricity generation.
Does the NUC provide electricity to Nauru?
The NUC currently provides all electricity services to Nauru except for the RPC and the main processing plant of RONPHOS which both generate their own power. Diesel, petrol and jet fuel are purchased by the government for all customers except RONPHOS who do their own purchasing.
What is Nauru energy policy framework (Nepf)?
The Nauru Energy Policy Framework (NEPF) was endorsed in 2009 and layout broad aims and strategies for the energy sector, including power, renewable and energy efficiency. The NUC currently provides all electricity services to Nauru except for RPC and the main processing plant of RONPHOS.
Where does Nauru's electricity come from?
Nauru’s electricity supply comes from a single power station operated by NUC. Most of the power now comes from four ageing medium-speed Ruston stationary engines with a high-speed Cummins generator providing essential supplementary capacity. There are plans to repair and install two more generators which are already in Nauru but not in use.
