Renewable energy in Tuvalu is a growing sector of the country''s energy supply. Tuvalu has committed to sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable energy. This is considered possible because of the small size of the population of Tuvalu and its abundant solar energy resources due to its tropical location. It is somewhat complicated because Tuvalu consists of nine inhabited islands. The Tuvalu National Energy Policy (TNEP) was formulated in 2009, and the Energy Str

Small steps towards full-renewable for Tuvalu

The HQ''s entire roof-space is now covered with solar panels to generate as much solar energy as possible to meet its electricity needs, and the batteries will provide up to a day of back-up before energy from the main grid is needed.

Tuvalu''s floating solar panels

In Funafuti, a small pond bordered by pig pens is now home to an innovative renewable energy pilot program, floating solar panels. Tuvalu Energy Corporation General Manager, Mafalu Lotolua says the project is a response to the struggle to find space to install solar panels on the atoll.

Tuvalu | Clay Energy

The installation of Tuvalu''s inaugural 100.28kWp Floating Solar Photovoltaic System (FSPV) consists of a total of 184 x 545W Sunergy solar panels with a solar floating mounting system. Through this new FSPV system 174.2MWh of electricity will be generated each year, meeting two percent of Funafuti''s annual energy demand.
