Will Nauru install a solar power plant?
Nauru has embarked on an ambitious project to install a grid-connected solar power plant with a capacity of 6 megawatts (MW) of alternating current. This initiative is part of the Solar Power Development Project, which aims to diversify the energy mix and reduce reliance on diesel.
Are there solar hot water systems on Nauru?
There are only a small number of solar hot-water systems on the island, most of which are in need of substantial maintenance. Solar photovoltaics have not been used as an energy source on Nauru as the island is 100% electrified by grid-distributed power.
Can solar photovoltaics be used as an energy source on Nauru?
While Nauru is currently 100% electrified by grid-distributed power, the government has considered and continues to explore the use of solar photovoltaics as an energy source. This interest was first indicated at the South Pacific Forum Meeting.
What is the main source of electricity on Nauru?
Solar photovoltaics have not been used as an energy source on Nauru as the island is 100% electrified by grid-distributed power. There are only a small number of solar hot-water systems on the island, most of which are in need of substantial maintenance.
Why is there limited interest in solar applications on Nauru?
As all energy on Nauru is provided from predominantly fossil fuels (electricity generation), there has only been a limited interest shown in solar applications. Nauru being located nearly on the equator limits the need for hot water for domestic applications.
What is Nauru Utilities Corporation (NUC) project preparatory technical assistance?
The project will also support the institutional strengthening of Nauru Utilities Corporation (NUC). Project preparatory technical assistance was used to carry out project-enabling activities such as a Solar Power Expansion Plan for Nauru, project feasibility study, detailed design, and plant procurement contract bidding documents.
