    FAQs about Cook Islands Solar Energy System Project Installation

    Can solar power save the Cook Islands?

    It will construct new solar photovoltaic power plants on up to six islands of Cook Islands' southern group. The project will result in annual savings of 1.09 million liters of diesel consumption and annual reduction of 2,930 tons of carbon dioxide emission, for greater energy security and sustainability in the Cook Islands.

    How will the Cook Islands energy project impact the environment?

    The project will result in annual savings of 1.09 million liters of diesel consumption and annual reduction of 2,930 tons of carbon dioxide emission, for greater energy security and sustainability in the Cook Islands. The impact of the project will be increased energy security in an environmentally sustainable manner.

    What is the future of power in the Cook Islands?

    Now with full-time power, the future has taken a new shape for Cook Islands' residents thanks to government renewable energy – leading to an improved quality of life, and increased economy activity. The improved livelihood in the communities that now have the benefit of reliable, 24hour power supply is immeasurable.

    Does Rarotonga have solar power?

    The Cook Islands Electricity Sector All inhabited islands of the Cook Islands currently have centralised power supplies that have historically been powered by diesel generators. Since around 2011, increasing solar PV generation on Rarotonga has changed this situation.

    Can solar power be installed on Aitutaki?

    Fig 4 presents such an approach for the medium-size island of Aitutaki. At the moment, Aitutaki is a power system 100% supplied by diesel generators (3 x 600 kW). During Stage 1, 1 MW of solar PV will be installed on the island which will run in parallel with the existing diesel generators.

    How did we help the Cook Islands Government achieve its aim?

    We helped the government realise its aim. To support the Cook Islands Government, the New Zealand Government – through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, installed mini-grid photo-voltaic power systems in a number of villages on six remote islands. We helped manage this logistically enjoyable project.
