Due to Tuvalu’s limited land area, the solar panels will run along the landing strip at Tuvalu’s airport alongside the soccer field. The contract price for the solar PV facility was about $5 million, with the remaining funding provided by IDA.
In response, Tuvalu has prioritized renewable energy as a dual strategy for mitigating emissions and adapting to climate impacts. Solar energy, in particular, is well-suited to Tuvalu’s tropical climate, which offers abundant sunlight throughout the year.
The contract price for the solar PV facility was about $5 million, with the remaining funding provided by IDA. The project will provide the country’s largest solar PV facility (750 kW PVs connected to 1 MW peak system) and its first BESS (2 MWh lithium ion battery).
The pacific island nation of Tuvalu is on track to achieving its goal of 100% renewables by 2030, with the recent commissioning of a 500 kW rooftop solar project and 2 MWh battery energy storage system in it’s capital Funafuti. Image: United Nations Development Programme Pacific Office
