Powering up remote Tuvalu through solar

4 DECEMBER 2015

A new documentary film created through the Pacific Islands Greenhouse Gas Abatement through Renewable Energy Project (PIGGAREP) documents the life-changing potential of 24 hour solar power for communities living in the remote islands of Tuvalu.

Earlier this year, PIGGAREP sent a small media crew to remote Tuvalu to capture the community response to new solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation units being installed on the islands of Nukufetau, Nukulaelae and Nui. These installations are equipped with batteries to ensure that, for the first time ever, electricity will be available 24 hours a day to the communities in these remote locations.
