Renewable energy in French Polynesia
Approximately 6% of primary energy in French Polynesia is generated from renewable energy sources. [1] Approximately 30% of electricity is generated renewably, primarily Hydroelectricity and solar power. [1] Renewable generation is concentrated on Tahiti, with other parts of French Polynesia almost entirely reliant on fossil fuels. [2]
ENERGY PROFILE French Polynesia
Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country''s land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across the classes (for comparison).
Assessing solar resource and photovoltaic production in Tahiti
1 University of French Polynesia, GEPASUD Laboratory 2 Direction Inter Régionale de Polynésie française, Météo France * Corresponding author: [email protected]. Abstract. This study focuses on the solar resource available at Faaa, Tahiti (17.5°S, 149.5°W) thanks to 10 year-long solar irradiance time series.

3 FAQs about [French Polynesia heliosun solar]
What is French Polynesia's energy transition plan?
French Polynesia’s energy transition plan has three main objectives: Change the energy model, by gradually replacing the use of fossil fuels with renewable energies in all activities
Does French Polynesia rely on hydrocarbons?
French Polynesia, like most island territories, is highly dependent on hydrocarbon imports. In 2019, 93.8% of energy consumed in the archipelagos came from imports of various petroleum-based fuels. The renewable energy penetration rate in power generation stood at 28.78% in 2019. This figure has remained stable over the last five years.
Is biomass a source of electricity in French Polynesia?
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. French Polynesia: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
