ENERGY STORAGE IN NAURU POWERING THE FUTURE OF
This is a list of energy storage power plants worldwide, other than pumped hydro storage. Many individual energy storage plants augment electrical grids by capturing excess electrical energy
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?
This is currently estimated at $17.30 million and will cover $7.70 million of the expenditure related to civil works, $6.60 million for additional physical contingencies, and $3.00 million of in-kind contributions. Funded by the Asian Development Bank, Green Climate Fund, Australian Government (DFAT) and Government of Nauru.
In parallel, Nauru is rolling out a $22 million renewable energy project aimed at reducing its reliance on imported diesel. The project includes a 6-megawatt solar farm which, now nearing completion, is expected to lift renewable energy's share of electricity generation from 3 per cent to 47 per cent.
