Tokelau – the First Country with 100 % Solar Energy

Tokelau – located just south of the equator, with nearly constant solar irradiation year-round – is an ideal candidate for photovoltaics. The three atolls of Fakaofo, Nukunonu and Atafu now operate their own hybrid systems. With 1 megawatt of total power, the plants generate more energy than the 1,411 inhabitants of Tokelau need.
