Cook Islands: 100% Renewable Energy in Different Guises
The Government of the Cook Islands has a long standing policy commitment of 100% renewable electricity by 2020. Its island power systems can be grouped in three categories – small (under
Solar-plus-storage for the Cook Islands – pv magazine Australia
Around 4.2 MWh of energy storage capacity will be connected to a solar and diesel micro-grid on Rarotonga, the largest of the islands in the South Pacific nation. Three 40-foot containers with a total power output of 4.8 MVA will be used as a power reserve and for grid support by utility Te Aponga Uira.

Cook Islands: 100% Renewable Energy in Different Guises
In its approach to delivering a 100% renewable energy target across 12 islands by 2020, the Cook Islands presents a rare insight into how planning requirements of high penetration renewable island systems vary with scale.
Deploying Solar Powered Microgrids on Small Island
Mangaia (Cook Islands), La Digue (Seychelles). Each case study explored the economics of installing SolarCity''s "GridLogic" microgrid system. GridLogic systems combine a ground-mounted PV array, battery storage, and backup generators with a sophisticated control system to provide a free-standing, low-carbon power system. Renewable

COOK ISLANDS RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR PROJECT
The proposed PV system could produce approximat ely 549 MWh of energy annually. Considering the load profile, proposed storage capacity, and natural va riations in resource, this will be able to deliver approximately 363 MWh of usable solar PV energy to Atiu, which is approximately 95% of the 382 MWh estimated annual consumption.
