Working with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) and the Niuean Government, Vector PowerSmart designed and built a sustainable generation plant and energy management system for the island, using new solar and battery technology. The 600kW of solar technology has produced 320,000kWh of electricity in the six months since 1 January 2019.
In recent years, Niue has implemented three grid-connected solar PV systems, solar water heaters, and LPG gas stoves in homes, all installed at a subsidized cost since renewable energy technology was very costly,
Today, the Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand, Rt Hon. Winston Peters is here to break ground on what will become a cornerstone of Niue''s renewable energy infrastructure. The new power station, funded through contributions from both Australia and New Zealand, is slated for completion and commissioning by mid-September.

emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In countries and

The project will install additional solar farms to boost the solar generation capacity and meet those targets. "So the things they were looking at during their mission was focused on looking at additional solar sites which will feed into the grind and also storage capacity for our battery system".

In recent years, Niue has implemented three grid-connected solar PV systems, solar water heaters, and LPG gas stoves in homes, all installed at a subsidized cost since renewable energy technology was very costly, particularly for the pacific islands´ citizens.
With the upcoming reintegration of the BESS and solar farms by December, Niue is poised to move closer to its goal of 80% renewable energy production by the end of 2025. The Ministry now has both old and new power stations available to ensure consistent energy
With the upcoming reintegration of the BESS and solar farms by December, Niue is poised to move closer to its goal of 80% renewable energy production by the end of 2025. The Ministry now has both old and new power stations available to ensure consistent energy delivery to all communities.
Over the last 5 months the total integrated system has resulted in 28.6% of Niue’s electricity coming from solar renewable sources, saving over 130,000 litres of diesel. Find out more about Vector Powersmart

This is equivalent to 14 of the total installed capacity.In 2014, the percentage of solar PV generation in total electricity generation was 1.
