How much electricity does French Polynesia use?
Hydroelectricity accounts for 23% of the electricity mix in French Polynesia. It is the irst renewable energy source in French Polynesia with an installed capacity of 49.3 MW. Solar water heaters produce hot water using so- lar energy. In 2019, the electricity consumption sa- ved is approximately 22 GWh, i.e. 3% of electricity consumption.
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.
