At Marama Nui, a new record for hydroelectric production has been recorded. During the week of December 12 to 18, no less than 7.04 GWh of energy was produced. The old record of 6.9 GWh was recorded in January 2019.
These very good results are due, among other things, to the very heavy rains that occurred last week. But the “numerous improvements made during the work carried out on the structures” and the “total availability of the hydroelectric park” are also in question. In addition, another record is worth noting. On Saturday December 17, the renewable energy penetration rate reached the record figure of 80% over 24 hours with 69% hydro and 11% photovoltaic.
In its press release, EDT indicates that its teams will “continue their efforts in 2023 to support the country in its desire for energy transition”.
