Energy Sector Development Project – Solar Array
This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the Energy Sector Development Project (ESDP) in Tuvalu, specifically addresses the solar PV array installation and Battery
TEC has set a vision of “Powering Tuvalu with Renewable Resources” and this align well with the Tuvalu Government set target of 100% renewable energy by 2025. All the islands of Tuvalu are on 24/7 power supply and the access rate is 100%. The outer islands are powered by hybrid solar PV system with diesel generator on standby.
The Government of Tuvalu worked with the e8 group to develop the Tuvalu Solar Power Project, which is a 40 kW grid-connected solar system that is intended to provide about 5% of Funafuti 's peak demand, and 3% of the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation's annual household consumption.
Tuvalu's power has come from electricity generation facilities that use imported diesel brought in by ships. The Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC) on the main island of Funafuti operates the large power station (2000 kW).
The Tuvalu National Energy Policy (TNEP) was formulated in 2009, and the Energy Strategic Action Plan defines and directs current and future energy developments so that Tuvalu can achieve the ambitious target of 100% renewable energy for power generation by 2020.
