2.Officials say the islands of Tokelau in the South Pacific Ocean have become the world′s first territory totally powered by the sun.The move is expected to save money and ease the environmental burden of depending on imported fossil fuels.New Zealand′s foreign affairs minister released a statement about the Tokelau Renewable Energy Project.Murray McCully said Tokelau′s three main islands now have enough solar capacity to meet all of their electricity needs.
The three islands of Tokelau are Atafu,Nukunonu and Fakaofo.The group of islands is about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii and is administered by New Zealand.Together they have about 1500citizens.
Each island received its own solar power transmission network.New Zealand officials estimated the cost of the project to build the three solar transmission networks at around seven million dollars.The last of them was completed earlier this month.
It is estimated that oil imports make up to thirty percent of national income in some parts of the Pacific.The move to solar power could save Tokelau about one million dollars a year.One project director said Tokelau would now be able to spend more on social programs to help its citizens.
Other South Pacific islands are attempting similar projects.The island nations of Samoa and Tuvalu are aiming to get all of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020.The Cook Islands plans to start moving to solar panels and wind turbines(涡轮).And most houses in the South Pacific groups of islands will begin to use solar water heaters.
East Timor′s government has promised that no households in the capital,Dili,would be using firewood for cooking by 2015.It also says fifty percent of the country′s electricity will come from renewable sources by the end of the decade.
New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said the country would hold a Pacific energy summit in March next year.He said the meeting would build on the success of clean and affordable energy solutions for Tokelau,Tonga,and the Cook Islands.
