Under the new energy roadmap, Niue has set a goal of 80% renewables by 2025. According to Radio New Zealand, while the main focus of Niue''s energy transition will be on solar power; the potential of other renewables such as wind power,
Similarly, Niue''s largest solar array (near the hospital) requires some inverters to be replaced. These are on-island, and replacement work will be carried out in the next few weeks. At this point, we will be able to bring a sizeable portion of solar back on the grid and reduce diesel consumption from running the generators full time.
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.

New Zealand plans to invest $20.5 million into a new, large-scale, renewable energy project in Niue, reducing the island nation''s reliance on diesel. The project will bring Niue''s renewable generation to 80 percent.
Today, the Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand, Rt Hon. Winston Peters is here to break ground on what will become a cornerstone of Niue''s renewable energy infrastructure. The new power station, funded through contributions from both Australia and New Zealand, is slated for completion and commissioning by mid-September.
Solar Turbines Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., designs and manufactures industrial gas turbines for onshore and offshore electrical power generation, for marine propulsion and for producing, processing and transporting natural gas and oil.

Under the new energy roadmap, Niue has set a goal of 80% renewables by 2025. According to Radio New Zealand, while the main focus of Niue''s energy transition will be on solar power; the potential of other renewables such as wind power, biomass and wave energy will be investigated.

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".
Niue is seeking about US$18 million to build a solar farm as part of the island nation's plans to reduce its heavy reliance on fossil fuels. The minister for infrastructure, Dalton Tagelagi says Niue's strategic energy road map sets the ambitious goal of having 80 percent of its power generation coming from renewable energy sources by 2025.
Over the last 5 months the total integrated system has resulted in 28.6% of Niue’s electricity coming from solar renewable sources, saving over 130,000 litres of diesel. Find out more about Vector Powersmart
Working on the existing solar plants to establish communication with the Niue Central Power Station. Installing 600kW of solar to increase the islands overall solar capacity to 1.1MW of solar generation. The solar array was installed well inland on high ground to avoid any potential damage from cyclones in the future.
Niue, the largest upraised coral atoll in the world, is situated in the South Pacific Ocean, some 2,400 kilometres northeast of New Zealand. Like many island nations, Niue is heavily dependent on diesel fuel for power generation.
