Under the new energy roadmap, Niue has set a goal of 80% renewables by 2025. According to Radio New Zealand, while the main focus of Niue’s energy transition will be on solar power; the potential of other renewables such as wind power, biomass and wave energy will be investigated.
Approximately 69% of diesel fuel imported into Niue is used for power generation – around 800,000 litres. Under the new energy roadmap, Niue has set a goal of 80% renewables by 2025.
This represents the culmination of years of work from Niue Power Corporation (NPC) staff, local and overseas contractors, and our development partners. Australia and New Zealand funding assistance in particular has been instrumental in the procurement of new generators, transformers, switchboard and construction of a new building to house these.
According to Radio New Zealand, while the main focus of Niue’s energy transition will be on solar power; the potential of other renewables such as wind power, biomass and wave energy will be investigated. The transition will cost an estimated USD $26 million and the country is now looking for partners to help it towards its goals.
Niue, the largest upraised coral atoll in the world, is situated in the South Pacific Ocean, some 2,400 kilometres northeast of New Zealand. Like many island nations, Niue is heavily dependent on diesel fuel for power generation.
