Cook Islands solar Energy Storage Project

4 FAQs about [Cook Islands solar Energy Storage Project]

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.

How much battery storage capacity will be installed in Rarotonga?

Additional battery storage capacity consisting of 1 megawatt (MW)/4 megawatt hour (MWH) for grid stability will be installed in the diesel power station in Avatiu Valley, Rarotonga, and 2 MW/8 MWh for load-shifting capability will be installed at the Rarotonga International Airport.

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.
