A review of 100% renewable energy scenarios on islands
Ninety-seven articles handling 100% renewable energy systems on small islands are reviewed, most of them belonging to Europe while further regions are underrepresented in scientific literature. Depending on the geographical situation on certain islands, different energy storage options are considered. Timmons et al. Cook Islands:

Entura helps Cook Islands reach renewable energy milestone
The Cook Islands is a group of 15 small islands in the Pacific, to the north-east of New Zealand. Of the 12 inhabited islands in the group, Entura''s work addresses the conversion of the power supply of six southern islands from mainly diesel generation to solar/battery hybrid systems that will supply 100 per cent of the population''s energy needs.

CookIslands
Electricity production from renewable energy sources in Cook Islands is mainly from small scale wind and solar power. Mangaia Island has a 40kW wind system with Pukapuka and Nassau having a number of small solar home systems. In 2009 the contribution of these small renewable energy systems to electricity generation was not significant.
