The first large scale system for renewable energy in Tuvalu is a 40 kW solar panel installation on the roof of the Tuvalu Sports Ground stands.[1][2] This grid-connected 40 kW solar system was established in 2008 by the E8 and Japan Government through Kansai Electric Company (Japan) and contributes 1% of electricity production on Funafuti.[3] Future plans include expanding this plant to 60 kW.
Stadium info
The islands of Tuvalu are narrow atolls composed of coral so that a football field could only be located at the broadest part of the main island of Funafuti.
The football field on Tuvalu is built on a coral base, with river clay shipped in from Fiji to create a surface on which grass has grown. This improved the football fields condition although the surface remains hard and is not uniformly flat.
The Tuvalu National Football Association has been wanting to be a member of FIFA since 1987.[4] However the lack of football facilities in Tuvalu is a major obstacle membership of FIFA. The Tuvalu Sports Ground is not a stadium that is suitable for holding international games because Tuvalu does not have any training grounds or hotels for visiting teams and supporters.[5][6][7]
