NAURU: Nauru Energy Road Map 2014
In terms of energy production, a 30% midday demand penetration (1 MWp of solar) represents around a 5% energy penetration for the conditions in Nauru so the 50% goal cannot be reached without substantial additional solar (above 1 MWp) which would need to be accompanied by associated energy storage such as large batteries.
Review of the Nauru Energy Road Map 2014
1.2 Nauru Energy Sector Overview Nauru is located just south of the equator about half way between Sydney and Honolulu. It is the smallest state in the Pacific with an area of around 21 square kilometres and a 2011 estimated population of more than 10,000 people. In addition, there are around 1,000 people housed in the Regional Processing Centres.

6 FAQs about [Electricity solar Nauru]
Who will implement solar project in Nauru?
The executing agency will be the Department of Finance and Sustainable Development. The implementing agency for solar component of project will be the Nauru Utilities Corporation (NUC). NUC will establish a project management unit within their existing organisational structure to implement the project.
How does Nauru get its energy?
Nauru predominantly sources its energy through diesel power generators. About 5% of its current energy demand is sourced from renewable energy, of which all is from solar power photovoltaic (PV) installations. A 500-kW ground-mounted solar installation was commissioned in 2016, and a number of residences have rooftop solar PV installations.
