6 FAQs about [Island and reef solar power generation]

Will solar power the Great Barrier Reef?

The largest marine research station on the Great Barrier Reef is set to shift to a cleaner energy source, with solar generation and storage to meet most of its electricity needs.

Is floating PV a good energy supply option for Islands and coastal areas?

Therefore, floating PV is a very effective electricity supply option for islands and coastal areas in the Sun Belt, as the technology combines low cost, high electricity yield and low area demand.

Is offshore floating PV a game changer for Island energy transitions?

Offshore floating PV can be a game changer for island energy transitions, especially in the Sun Belt, if land area is limited and no utility-scale ground-mounted PV plants can be installed. Remaining challenges are expected to be overcome in the near future, considering the huge potential, market growth and planned offshore projects .

Will Réunion become a net zero energy island by 2025?

Réunion has set the ambitious target of becoming a net zero energy island by 2025. This is a particularly challenging goal due to the island’s high population density. In light of this, Akuo Energy launched a solar and agricultural project, called Agrinergie 5, in a sugar cane cultivation zone in Saint-Joseph.

Will wave power be the backbone of the archipelago's energy system?

Especially wave power with its relatively stable electricity generation over the whole year and especially during the monsoon season will be the backbone of the archipelago’s energy system, in particular when energy intensive facilities for transport e-fuel production are set up within the country.

How will wave energy affect the future of solar energy?

The introduction of wave energy diminishes the need for floating PV, battery storage and offshore wind (down by almost 80% for the latter in 2050 for 100RE-SI). On the contrary, in 2050 both of the scenarios need more hydrogen storage capacities to cover seasonal effects when wave power is included.
