ENERGY PROFILE Tuvalu
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.
Potential of Renewable Energy Sources in Tuvalu''s Energy
Tuvalu, a small island nation in the South Pacific, is on the cusp of an energy revolution. As the world moves towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, this remote country is looking to technology to help transform its energy market and reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels.
Tuvalu Renewable Energy Study-FINAL FINAL
The current study concerning renewable energy potential and implementation in Tuvalu is at the crossroad of 2 issues, each with major strategic implications: climate change threats and worldwide oil crises. Given this context, what can renewable
Wind Study and Feasibility Report
Report documents the wind energy potential for the island Funafuti. Also has a wind resource map of the island with an assessment of the economic feasibility. Report was prepared by Ecology Management ApS of Denmark for SPREP.
Renewable energy in Tuvalu
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.

6 FAQs about [Tuvalu wind energy manufacturer]
Why should Tuvalu invest in wind energy?
Development of wind energy offers another opportunity to Tuvalu: to tackle the important issue of water supply. When the supply of electricity exceeds the demand, the additional capacity can be used for water desalinization or water purification.
What is the main source of energy in Tuvalu?
The primary energy consumption represents the upstream supply. The only national energy source is biomass (18% of total consumption). Photovoltaic and thermal solar contribute for less than 1%. The balance of supply is oil (Fig. 2). Tuvalu is close to being a totally oil dependent economy.
Where does Tuvalu electricity come from?
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).
What is the Tuvalu solar power project?
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.
What is solar thermal development in Tuvalu?
Solar thermal development will insure better living and health in Tuvalu. Either for collective or individual use, it is a well established technology which uses solar radiation directly to heat or boil water, and cook food. It is also one of the simplest RE technologies. For example, it would be enough to paint the hotel water tank black.
Does Tuvalu have biomass?
Despite biomass providing 18% of Tuvalu’s total primary energy, it has thus far failed to be recorded in Tuvalu’s official government statistics. Because the situation is highly variable from island to island and even from one family to another, a regular survey is needed.
