The pacific island nation of Tuvalu is on track to achieving its goal of 100% renewables by 2030, with the recent commissioning of a 500 kW rooftop solar project and 2 MWh battery energy storage system in it’s capital Funafuti. Image: United Nations Development Programme Pacific Office
Tuvalu, an island country midway between Hawaii and Australia, has commissioned a new solar and storage project with the ADB, featuring a 500 kW on-grid solar rooftop array and a 2 MWh BESS in the capital, Funafuti. “The project is under the Pacific Renewable Energy Investment Facility and has a $6 million support.
“The project is under the Pacific Renewable Energy Investment Facility and has a $6 million support. It is ADB’s first for Tuvalu’s energy sector,” the ADB said in a statement. “The project also installed solar PV in the outer islands of Nui, Nukufetau, and Nukulaelae.”
The project has three outputs: (i) solar photovoltaic system installed on three outer islands; (ii) solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage system installed on Funafuti; and (iii) Institutional capacity for inclusive renewable energy project development and implementation enhanced. Q1 2023: Turnkey contract and CSC contract have been awarded.
