Tokelau Solar documentary now on-line

The makers of the documentary "The Solar Nation of Tokelau" have made their work available online from the Tokelau website (home page, top left), so the Tokelau community can see it for themselves. Warning, the 44-minute documentary file is a very large mp4 file that may take some time to download.

Beyond Tokelau''s 100% solar: add wind power!

Tokelau was the first nation in the world to go 100% solar in 2012. Now the country is aiming to keep its fully renewable energy status in the future using wind power. This is going to reduce the need for diesel fuel backup in prolonged times of cloudy weather, and when the solar cell system needs maintenance.

Tokelau, The ''Solar Powered Country,'' Hits Goal | EarthTechling

The job is finished. Tokelau is virtually solar-only, apparently fulfilling its boast to become the "world''s first solar-powered country." New Zealand on Monday announced that the tiny island territory it supports – which consists mainly of three atolls that have a land area one-fifth the size of Manhattan and a population around 1,400 – is now capable of producing more than enough

Tokelau Renewable Energy Project | ITP Renewables

The South Pacific nation of Tokelau became the first country in the world to have all of its electricity needs met by solar power. Designed by Powersmart Solar in partnership with ITP Renewables, construction of the combined 1 MW of

Tokelau – Wikipedia

Tokelau (Bedeutung „Nordwestwind" oder „Blattspitze" [4]; bis 1976 offiziell Tokelau Islands [5], ehemaliger Kolonialname Union-Inseln) ist ein von Neuseeland abhängiges Gebiet im Südpazifik.. Tokelau besteht aus drei tropischen Korallenatollen (von Nordwesten: Atafu, Nukunonu und Fakaofo) mit einer Gesamtfläche von 12,2 km² und einer Bevölkerung von 1499 Einwohnern

Tokelau

There is no administrative centre, with each island having a separate local government. External affairs are run by the Tokelau Liaison office in Apia, Western Samoa. The Government of Tokelau solar project has become a leader in renewable energy with solar photovoltaics (PV) now providing 90% of the atolls'' electricity needs.

6 FAQs about [Tokelau solar centre]

Can Tokelau support itself with solar energy?

Tokelau, an island nation in the South Pacific, is now completely able to support itself with solar energy. Elly Earls met Joseph Mayhew of the New Zealand Aid Programme to find out how this tiny collection of atolls has become almost 100% self-sufficient in less than 12 months.

How much electricity does a solar system provide in Tokelau?

Each system alone is among the largest off-grid solar power systems in the world, and together they are capable of providing 150% of current electricity demand in Tokelau, a much higher amount than the 90% that was originally planned for.

Could Tokelau be the world's first renewable nation?

Solar power plants and coconut biofuel-powered generators switched on in Tokelau has made the islands the world’s first truly renewable nation.’ Imagine a place where the only energy to be found is clean, reliable solar power. Solar Array’s seen on the three tiny islands of Tokelau to completely produce solar power energy.

How many people live in Tokelau?

Tokelau is made up of three small atolls, Atafu, Nukunonu and Fakaofo, has an area of around 10km² and is populated by 1,411 New Zealand citizens, all of whom now have their energy needs met by solar electricity systems. "Each system alone is among the largest off-grid solar power systems in the world."

Why did Tokelau switch to solar?

Yet despite the challenges involved in installing comprehensive solar systems in such a remote location, switching to solar was absolutely crucial for the tiny collection of islands. "Tokelau’s atolls are low-lying and especially susceptible to the adverse effects of climate change," Mayhew stressed.

Why is electricity so expensive in Tokelau?

Before the PowerSmart systems were installed on the nation’s three atolls, Tokelau was highly dependent on imported fossil fuels to meet its energy needs and therefore vulnerable to international price fluctuations and increasing fuel costs, making electricity extremely expensive for both households and businesses.
