Review of the Nauru Energy Road Map 2014
In 2016-17, the Buada solar PV system generated 869 MWh, (1,738 kWh / kW / year). Combined with the rooftop PV, this lifted the annual renewable energy contribution to around 3.5% in 2016-17. For a day with a low load such as a Sunday, with a noon load of around 4 MW, the total instantaneous PV penetration could be as high as 15%.

Nauru Energy Sector Overview
Policy Framework both state Nauru''s aim to make 50% of energy provided through renewable energy by 2015. Solar resource measurements show an average of over 6 kWhr/m2/day with a seasonal variation of around 10-15%. A solar pre-feasibility study has shown that up to 1 MWp of solar PV could be installed without storage.

Since China and Nauru restored diplomatic ties earlier this year, bilateral win-win cooperation has rapidly expanded, yielding beneficial outcomes for local communities. Nauru, with its beautiful tropical scenery and brilliant sunshine, is endearingly dubbed as a "pearl of the Pacific."
Nauru: Solar Power Development Project
1. The project will finance a 6MW grid connected solar power plant (measured as AC output) and 2.5MWh/5MW battery energy storage system (BESS) for solar smoothing energy storage (SSES). The system will be fully integrated and automated with the existing diesel generation
Nauru: Energy Country Profile
Renewable electricity here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal power. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included.
China-Nauru cooperation in photovoltaic solar energy
The project will reduce Nauru''s dependence on diesel, bringing down the costs in electricity generation, improving local power supply and increase the share of renewable energy generation. Most importantly, it will significantly add to Nauru''s environmental protection efforts, thereby achieving its sustainable development goals.
Wind and solar energy in Small Island Developing States for
The shift toward utilizing both offshore and onshore wind, along with solar power, holds immense promise for the 39 SIDS in curbing climate change and transitioning their economies toward low-carbon outputs.
NAURU: Nauru Energy Road Map 2014
As renewable energy for power generation is developed in Nauru, it may also be worth examining the feasibility of fully electric vehicles with solar (or wind) charging. However, fully electric vehicles are far from becoming a commercial reality in practice even worldwide.
ENERGY PROFILE Nauru
Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.
6 FAQs about [Wind and solar power combined Nauru]
What type of energy is used in Nauru?
Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings. Nauru: How much of the country’s energy comes from nuclear power?
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.
Who owns Nauru electricity?
The Nauru electrical network is owned and operated by Nauru Utilities Corporation (NUC), a state-owned enterprise, established under the Nauru Utilities Corporation Act of 2011. NUC is responsible for energy generation and energy distribution, and water supply. Nauru predominantly sources its energy through diesel power generators.
Who will implement solar project in Nauru?
The executing agency will be the Department of Finance and Sustainable Development. The implementing agency for solar component of project will be the Nauru Utilities Corporation (NUC). NUC will establish a project management unit within their existing organisational structure to implement the project.
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.
What is the impact of Nauru energy project?
The project impact is a reliable, affordable, secure, and sustainable energy supply to meet the socio-economic development needs of Nauru. The outcome of the project will be that NUC, the state-owned power and water utility, will supply reliable and cleaner electricity.
