The data set provides a summary of Tuvalu fuel and LPG, imported in the period 2013 - 2017. The Petroleum import data provided are measured in volumes ( Litres and KG).
- Wind resource measurements have been carried out on Funafuti but only at the 30-metre level. An average wind speed of 5.79 m/s was recorded, and the consultant making the assessments recommended installation of small turbines in the 20–50 kW range as there is no crane on Tuvalu capable of installing larger turbines. This wind resource monitoring equipment was supported by the SOPAC, UNDP and Government of Denmark under the PIEPSAP Project.
Captures total generation (kWh) from the solar installation at the Funafuti Sports Ground in Tuvalu from 2008 - 2013. Data is captured monthly and quarterly on a yearly basis.
This record captures Tuvalu petroleum product imports for the period 2006 - 2014. Data is captured monthly and by fuel type: Diesel (ADF) Unleaded petrol (ULP, also known as benzene at the retailers) Kerosene - dual purpose kerosene (DPK).
Data was sourced by the Tuvalu Department of Energy directly from the fuel importers and aggregated here by fuel type. Listed below are the various importing parties by Tuvalu over the years:
Solar data Motufoua Secondary School - Vaitupu Island. Project completed in 2009. Data compiled by Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC) for the production of Tuvalu Energy Statistics Booklet.
The household survey was funded by the Government of Australia via the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) through the Pacific Appliance Labelling and Standards (PALS) project with technical support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Data entry was undertaken by the Department of Energy, Govt. of Tuvalu. Contact: Kapuafe Lifuka, Acting Director, Department of Energy, Ministry of Public Utilities, Government of Tuvalu & PALS National Coordinator: [email protected]

'Story Maps' allows an individual to combine authoritative maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia content to make it easy to harness the power of maps and geography to tell a story. An insight into Tuvalu's environmental issues is featuring on the story map website with images and ArcGIS contents.
The project. The Outer Island Maritime Infrastructure Project – Additional Financing (the project) will continue the efforts of the Government of Tuvalu (the government) with support from Asian Development Bank (ADB) to rehabilitate and improve maritime infrastructure on outer islands. The Outer Islands Maritime Infrastructure Project is improving infrastructure on Nukulaelae, Nanumaga and Niutao which was damaged by Tropical Cyclone Pam in March 2015.
Final verified descriptive and spatial data for Tuvalu's protected areas received from Tuvalu DOE, March 2019.
This paper highlights the seriousness of the “biodiversity crisis” on atolls and the need to place greater research and conservation emphasis on atolls and other small island ecosystems. It is based on studies over the past twenty years conducted in the atolls of Tuvalu, Tokelau, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands and the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It stresses that atolls offer some of the greatest opportunities for integrated studies of simplified small-island ecosystems.
In March 1993, a SEAFRAME (Sea Level Fine Resolution Acoustic Measuring Equipment) gauge was installed in Funafuti. Readings(height observations) recorded from the gauge, is held in this record and provided in the form of Yearly Reports, Tide Prediction Calendars and Hourly Sea Level and meteorological data (update frequency- real time) from the Funafuti station. This is downloadable from the Distribution Info Section of this metadata record.The gauge has been returning high resolution, good scientific quality data since its installation.
