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).
Niue has 343 kWp of solar PV installed capacity, currently only around 80 kWp of solar PV Though is connected to the grid, due to grid instability considerations. The remaining 263 kWp of solar PV capacity is currently offline.
Installing 0.80MW / 3.15MWh Tesla Powerpack 2 (BESS) at the Niue Power Station to maximise the use of solar on the island and eliminate the need to curtail solar to maintain grid stability. Installing Vector PowerSmarts
This power system provides energy to the administrative sector of Niue as well as a local mine site that utilises a heavy duty rock crusher. Daily load ranges from 400kW to 600kW. The solar PV plant reduces diesel fuel consumption on the island.

Installing Vector PowerSmarts bespoke Energy Management System (EMS) to manage Niue''s electricity grid by balancing the new and existing solar generation
The project will install additional solar farms to boost the solar generation capacity and meet those targets. "So the things they were looking at during their mission was focused on looking at additional solar sites which will feed into the grind and also storage capacity for our battery system".
Working with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) and the Niuean Government, Vector PowerSmart designed and built a sustainable generation plant and energy management system for the island, using new solar and battery technology. The 600kW of solar technology has produced 320,000kWh of electricity in the six months since 1 January 2019.
MFAT is in the ''awaiting approval'' stage of a Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and electrical grid upgrade project in Niue. The current scope of the project includes the design, procurement, installation, and commissioning of:
By reducing the number of components required per megawatt of solar power generated, 2kV systems allow for faster deployment—crucial in a rapidly growing industry. Additionally, 2kV helps lower the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE), making solar power even more competitive within the broader energy mix.
