Tuvalu, located in the Pacific Ocean, consists of nine islands with a total land area of 26 square kilometres spread across 900,000 square kilometres of ocean. The population is dispersed over these islands, with the capital and largest city, Funafuti, housing around half of the total population of approximately 11,000.

Tuvalu also relies heavily on diesel generators for power, but is making strides towards renewable energy, with solar panels installed on the capital island and plans to extend this across other islands.
