The component of this project is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) proposed to be funded by GEF for installation on Rarotonga. This report sets out Entura''s assessment of the feasibility of the Rarotonga ESS subproject.
The Cook Islands Located in the South Pacific Ocean, the Cook Islands has 15 islands, of which 12 are inhabited. Most of the Cook Islands 13,000 permanent residents live on Rarotonga, in the south. Aitutaki has a population of approximately 1,800, and remaining islands are sparsely populated. Fig 1.
Most of the Cook Islands people live in the Southern Islands. Two largest Islands are Rarotonga (main island) and Aitutaki The Government of the Cook Islands has a long standing policy commitment of 100% renewable electricity by 2020.
The Cook Islands Electricity Sector All inhabited islands of the Cook Islands currently have centralised power supplies that have historically been powered by diesel generators. Since around 2011, increasing solar PV generation on Rarotonga has changed this situation.

This report presents the findings of a feasibility study of an Energy Storage for Rarotonga. The report was developed by DNV KEMA for Te Aponga Uira (TAU) to assess the need and feasibility for storage for the Island of Rarotonga under selected future generation scenarios. The Cook Islands enjoyed a high level of electrification. However, the ...
Renewable Energy Storage: Batteries. Batteries play a pivotal role in our society''s ability to harness the abundant energy from wind and solar sources, and so reduce reliance on fossil fuels. As with any energy system, renewables come with their own set of challenges and impacts. With rapidly evolving battery technologies and build-out of infrastructure supporting widespread …
Three newly commissioned battery systems on Rarotonga which cost US$16 million (approx. NZ$24m) will reduce the island''s dependence on oil-fuelled power generation and continue the shift to solar power.
The Cook Islands in the Pacific will host a 5.6MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system for the integration of renewables, in a project funded by the Asian Development Bank, European Union and Global Environmental Fund.
To support this ambitious plan the Asian Development Bank and the European Union fund the Cook Islands Renewable Energy Sector Project, which will construct up to six solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants with a total installed capacity of about 3 megawatts-peak coupled with battery to store electricity from solar energy.
Batteries have already proven to be a commercially viable energy storage technology. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are modular systems that can be deployed in standard shipping containers. Until recently, high costs and low round-trip efficiencies prevented their mass deployment. However, increased use of lithium-ion batteries in ...
The substantial battery component was selected to store energy, and thus enable better use of the renewable energy generated in excess of the load (which averages at 45 kW), particularly through the night.
