Tokelau, made up of three islands (Atafu, Fakaofo and Nukunonu), is a dependant territory of New Zealand, located in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, about 500 km north of the Samoan islands.
Unbelievable as it is, Tokelau is the first nation to achieve a 100% renewable energy supply. 100%. In each archipelago, the impressive energy security and management is governed by a Council of Elders or Taupulega who govern each island. Hence, since 2012 the country managed a transition from 100% diesel to solar power! Go find out more on the government’s website!
