The new solar farm, spanning several hectares and equipped with advanced photovoltaic technology, is designed to meet a significant portion of Funafuti’s electricity needs. This project, funded through a combination of government resources and international grants, is set to enhance energy security and drastically cut carbon emissions.
Through this new FSPV system 174.2 megawatts per hour of electricity will be generated each year, meeting two percent of Funafuti’s annual energy demand. This innovative clean energy source will reduce the country’s reliance on diesel-powered energy generation by 47,100 litres per year – a saving of approximately US$68,000.
Prime Minister Feleti Teo underscored the project’s significance in a recent address. “This solar farm is more than just an energy project; it is a symbol of our commitment to a sustainable and resilient future,” Teo said.
