Norfolk Island, an external territory of Australia, is located in the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and New Caledonia. The island has a small population, estimated at around 2,100 residents, and features a roughly circular shape with an area of about 35 square kilometres. Due to its remote location and small size, telecommunications and technology infrastructure have been a challenging aspect of development. Norfolk Island relies on satellite connectivity for internet and telephone services, which can be impacted by weather and technical issues. There is no undersea cable connecting the island to the mainland or any other land mass, limiting broadband speed and capacity. In terms of energy, the island relies heavily on diesel generators, with a small contribution from solar power. However, the island targets 100% renewables by 2024.
