Demand for energy in most islands is rising due to tourism and population growth. Many islands are committed to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. The studied cases are projected to achieve 50% generation from solar energy by 2030. This would reduce their dependency on diesel imports and the risks of fuel spills.
The island relies on a 5 MW thermal power plant to generate 90% of its electricity. There is 2.3 MW of additional capacity kept as reserve for emergencies. The wholesale price to generate electricity with diesel is very high (0.31 USD per kWh in 2023) due to the price of the fuel and the cost of transporting it from the mainland.
This work conducts a review of energy transition for islands and then focuses on three case studies: Galápagos, Noronha and Príncipe. It was found that the demand for energy at these locations will continue to grow at a high rate, pushed by the growth of tourism and population.
Today, they have an opportunity to harness these energies more efficiently than ever to help their societies become more resilient and prosper. The low cost of solar panels presents an opportunity for investing in solar energy across the Pacific Islands.
Distributed energy resources – or small-scale energy resources that are usually situated near sites of electricity use, such as rooftop solar – could play an important role in boosting the deployment of renewables on islands, increasing the security, resilience and affordability of power systems while accelerating decarbonisation.
