What is the future of power in the Cook Islands?
Now with full-time power, the future has taken a new shape for Cook Islands’ residents thanks to government renewable energy – leading to an improved quality of life, and increased economy activity. The improved livelihood in the communities that now have the benefit of reliable, 24hour power supply is immeasurable.
What does the GCF grant mean for the Cook Islands?
The GCF is providing a $12-million grant to co-finance the project, which is part of the seven-year Pacific Islands Renewable Investment Program covering the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, and Tonga. The grant will fund assistance to the Cook Islands in procuring and installing battery storage.
How did power supply affect the islands?
Power supply was effected by issues of reliability, maintainability, capacity and access to adequate, regular diesel supplies. There were no sources of hard aggregate for concrete or reliable earthmoving equipment on the islands, so all materials, equipment and tools required for construction were supplied via a freighter.
