Following expression of interest from several Forum Island Countries for assistance in assessing their wind resource, the Forum Secretariat initiated the South Pacific Wind and Solar Monitoring Project in 1993. The goal of the project was to establish at a suitable site in each participating country, a wind and solar radiation monitoring system for evaluating the potential of wind power for main grid electricity generation and to record and analyse wind and solar energy data for a period of 2 years.
Energy Resource Inventory of Fiji:
- Solar energy source
- Hydro energy source
- Wind energy source
- Biomass energy source
This record captures renewable energy projects in Tonga from 1991 - 2010 for solar and wind projects. Data is sourced from the Tonga Energy Planning Unit and was used for the Tonga INDC compilation. Dataset captures the photovoltaic (PV) utilization in Tonga in terms of PV capacity installed by:
- Energy Planning Unit,
- water pumping
- Private and other intiatives - hotels, business, home systems
Data is attached here as it was provided to SPC in 2015.
Record holds regional gross generation by source for the main grid only for the 14 power utilities in the Pacific. Generation provided by source for ADO, heavy fuel oil, hydropower, wind energy, solar PV, biomass & biofuel. Data gives % of renewable energy share in the main grid.
