Tokelau – 100% Renewable Energy Atlas
Target: 100% renewable energy; Status: Achieved; RES: 1MW off-grid solar energy system across three main atolls of Tokelau. The project includes : 4032 solar modules, 196 string inverters, 112 DC charge controllers, 84 battery inverters and 1344 batteries in 48V banks. The system allows for up to 2 days of energy without any solar input.
ENERGY PROFILE Tokelau
developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided
Tokelau – the world''s first solar power sufficient nation
Work started in mid-June 2012 on the one megawatt Tokelau Renewable Energy Project, which is comprised of three individual solar power systems with battery storage. Each system alone is among the largest off-grid solar power systems in the world, and together they are capable of providing 150% of current electricity demand in Tokelau, a much
Tokelau Renewable Energy Project | ITP Renewables
The South Pacific nation of Tokelau became the first country in the world to have all of its electricity needs met by solar power. Designed by Powersmart Solar in partnership with ITP Renewables, construction of the combined 1 MW of stand-alone PV spread across the three atolls was completed in October 2012.
New solar system for Tokelau | RNZ News
Additional 210 kilowatt solar arrays would be installed on Atafu, Fakaofo and Nukunonu, along with two megawatt hour lithium ion battery storage systems. The new batteries will take up less space and provide twice the
Tokelau Renewable Energy Project Review
The Tokelau Renewable Energy Project (TREP) saw the installation of solar diesel hybrid power systems on Fakaofo, Nukunonu and Atafu, the three atolls of Tokelau. There is a clear need across the community to better understand the reasoning behind tariffs and what different tariffs mean for the community
Solar and battery microgrid project to return Tokelau to 100%
Thanks to joint funding by the government of Tokelau and New Zealand, the Tokelau Renewable Energy Expansion Project (TREEP) is now underway; set to return Tokelau to approximately 100% renewable energy with installation set to commence in early 2020.
Solar Project
Solar Array''s seen on the three tiny islands of Tokelau to completely produce solar power energy. The renewable energy system comprising of solar panels, storage batteries and generators running on biofuel derived from coconut will generate enough electricity to meet 150% of the islands'' power demand.
New solar system for Tokelau | RNZ News
Additional 210 kilowatt solar arrays would be installed on Atafu, Fakaofo and Nukunonu, along with two megawatt hour lithium ion battery storage systems. The new batteries will take up less space and provide twice the output, making the existing lead acid batteries redundant which will eventually be recycled off island.

3 FAQs about [Tokelau grid energy storage]
Can a solar array power Tokelau?
Solar Array’s seen on the three tiny islands of Tokelau to completely produce solar power energy. The renewable energy system comprising of solar panels, storage batteries and generators running on biofuel derived from coconut will generate enough electricity to meet 150% of the islands’ power demand.
Why is electricity so expensive in Tokelau?
Before the PowerSmart systems were installed on the nation’s three atolls, Tokelau was highly dependent on imported fossil fuels to meet its energy needs and therefore vulnerable to international price fluctuations and increasing fuel costs, making electricity extremely expensive for both households and businesses.
How much money does Tokelau spend importing fuels a year?
Tokelau spends about $829,000 every year to import fuels. The government of Tokelau now plans to spend these savings on other essential services like health and education. The savings will also be used to repay the grants and financial assistance the government received from New Zealand government for this project.
