Tokelau is the island where green energy won.

So here we have the Tokelauan dollar, nominal - 5. The year of issue of this coin is 2017, mint: Karlsfeld, Germany. Total circulation – 1.000.

Tokelau, formerly Union Group, Island territory of New Zealand, South Pacific Ocean. Located north of Samoa, Tokelau consists of three coral atolls: Fakaofo, Nukunonu, and Atafu - each with numerous low-lying islets. Originally settled by Samoans, the islands were first visited by Europeans in the 18th century.

The goal of 100% renewable electricity was met on 7 November 2012, according to the Foreign Affairs Minister of New Zealand, Murray McCully. Previously electricity was generated using diesel generators and was only available about 16 hours/day.

Three solar power stations with a total generation capacity of 930kWp were installed to provide 100% of current electrical demand from photovoltaics, with lead acid battery backup able to store around 8MWh. The first power station was completed in August 2012. In total, 4,032 solar panels are used and 1,344 batteries weighing 250 kilograms (550 lb) each. The systems are designed to withstand winds of 230 km/h (143 mph).

By 2011, Tokelau's electricity was 93% generated by photovoltaics, with the remainder generated from coconut oil. As of 2019, increased demand and degradation of batteries had led to increased need for backup power. Plans were made for an additional 210 kW of PV and close to 2MWh of lithium-ion battery capacity.
