Currently connections to the grid is on hold. Next phase involves storage, enablers, power station control system upgrade - starting 2017.
Electricity and water utility services in the Cook Islands are provided by Government-owned monopoly service providers. As monopolies, these service providers are not subject to normal competitive
"Empowering the community through sustainable and innovative energy solutions.
The companies delivering utilities services in the Cook Islands are: Te Aponga Uira, To Tatou Vai, and Te Mana Uira o Araura. In each case, these companies are the only providers of the services in their
Four islands in the southern group fully convert energy system from diesel fuel to renewable energy sources.
Although nearly all households in the Cook Islands are connected to grid electricity, only 5.5% of households have additional solar photovoltaic systems installed, and 1% use small diesel generators.
Learn how Beca helped the Cook Islands realise their aim of achieving 90% of their power needs from renewable sources by 2020, a great example of government renewable energy at work!
The Cook Islands is a net importer of energy, in the form of petroleum products. Total energy consumption was 1,677,278,000 BTU (1.77 TJ) in 2017, of which 811,000,000 (0.86 TJ) was in the form of oil. In 2012 47% of imported oil was used in the transport sector, 30% in aviation, and 27% for electricity generation. Electricity consumption is 31.6 GWh, from 14 MW of installed generation capacity, with most load concentrated on the main island of Rarotonga. Per-capita electricity consumption is approximately two
