The Cocos (Keeling) Islands consist of two flat, low-lying coral atolls with an area of 14.2 square kilometres (5.5 sq mi), 26 kilometres (16 mi) of coastline, a highest elevation of 5 metres (16 ft) and thickly covered with coconut palms and other vegetation. The climate is pleasant, moderated by the southeast for about nine months of the year and with moderate rainfall. . 科科斯(基林)群岛(英語:Cocos (Keeling) Islands)是位於的 ,位於澳大利亞本土與之間的南緯12°0′00″ 東經96°30′00″。群島面积達14.2;人口有628人(至2005年7月),由27座島組成。仅家岛(Home Island)和(West Island)有人居住。科科斯(基林)群岛的位于西岛。 [pdf]
The territory's dual name (official since the islands' incorporation into Australia in 1955) reflects that the islands have historically been known as either the Cocos Islands or the Keeling Islands. The territory consists of two atolls made up of 27 coral islands, of which only two – West Island and Home Island – are inhabited.
Under the Local Government Act 1969 (WA) (CKI) Council changed title to Cocos (Keeling) Islands Shire Council and became responsible for the whole Territory and was given same powers, responsibilities and obligations as a Western Australian shire council.
The capital of the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands is West Island while the largest settlement is the village of Bantam, on Home Island. Governance of the islands is based on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Act 1955 and depends heavily on the laws of Australia.

Renewable energy in Tuvalu is a growing sector of the country's energy supply. has committed to sourcing 100% of its from . This is considered possible because of the small size of the population of Tuvalu and its abundant solar energy resources due to its tropical location. It is somewhat complicated because Tuvalu consists of nine inhabited islands. The Tuvalu National Energy Policy (TNEP) was formulated in 2009, and the Energy Str. [pdf]
TEC has set a vision of “Powering Tuvalu with Renewable Resources” and this align well with the Tuvalu Government set target of 100% renewable energy by 2025. All the islands of Tuvalu are on 24/7 power supply and the access rate is 100%. The outer islands are powered by hybrid solar PV system with diesel generator on standby.
Tuvalu's power has come from electricity generation facilities that use imported diesel brought in by ships. The Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC) on the main island of Funafuti operates the large power station (2000 kW).
Outcomes and outputs (including, but not limited to, technical or policy recommendations, concept design, detailed design, equipment specification) should be consistent with the safeguard policies of the World Bank and the Environmental and Social Management Framework of the Tuvalu Energy Sector Development Project.
In FY2014, ASTAE support financed a team of experts to help the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC) ensure that the proposed World Bank Energy Sector Development Project provides a path for Tuvalu to achieve its 100 percent goal.
The Government of Tuvalu worked with the e8 group to develop the Tuvalu Solar Power Project, which is a 40 kW grid-connected solar system that is intended to provide about 5% of Funafuti ’s peak demand, and 3% of the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation's annual household consumption.
A draft Gender and Energy Scoping Study for Tuvalu11 was undertaken in March 2014.
