In 2012 Tokelau will be Number 1 in
the fight against climate change
In 2012 Tokelau will shift from 100% diesel to
over 90% solar for electricity generation
That will make Tokelau number 1 in per-
person reduction in greenhouse gas emission
in the Pacific and fulfilling its global obligation

With funding from Tokelaus budget, a solardesign specifically for the Tokelau conditions was
prepared
Tenders were received and evaluated with theresult showing that a $8.5 million budget can
purchase enough solar to supply more than 90%
of Tokelaus electricity.
$7m will be funded by NZ from future budgetaryallocations to Tokelau. The short-fall of $1.5m
still being sought by Tokelau from other sources

Tokelaus electricity production will be 100%
from solar energy.
Start the process of developing coconut oil
production to enhance 100% renewable
energy
