The renewable energy sources in Nauru are solar radiation and a small amount of biomass. However, as the electricity is supplied from diesel generation and has been abundantly available over the past 80 years, these other renewable energy sources have not been extensively exploited.
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.
Nauru currently relies heavily on imported diesel for power generation, which poses challenges due to fuel price fluctuations and supply interruptions. About 3% of its electricity comes from solar photovoltaic installations. What key renewable energy projects are underway in Nauru?
The high cost of power generation in Nauru, often exceeding $0.40 per kilowatt-hour, has historically required government subsidies to keep electricity affordable for residents. However, recent efforts, including support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), have aimed to improve the financial sustainability of the energy sector.
