Niue

Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition

The Energy Transition in Niue

Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific, is embarking on a transformative journey towards sustainable energy independence. Known for its limestone cliffs, pristine waters, and rich Polynesian culture, Niue faces unique energy challenges due to its remote location and small population. The island's energy transition strategy focuses on harnessing renewable resources, improving energy efficiency, and building resilience to climate change. Critical aspects of Niue's energy transition include initiating solar projects, to power homes, government buildings, and businesses, aiming to reduce its reliance on imported diesel fuel. energy conservation practices among residents and businesses are promoted along with investing in resilient energy infrastructure to cope with extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. Niue's government is actively developing policies and regulatory frameworks to support the energy transition, and education programs foster a culture of sustainability across the island.
