Rumahoki is a major producer of {{wp|nuclear energy}}, it having been national policy since the 1970s when the [[Delepasian Commonwealth]] began to pursue {{wp|energy security}}. As noted in the constitution, the energy sector is one of the three major sectors of the economy under complete government ownership with no exemptions for private firms. The {{wp|Nuclear energy in Rumahoki|heavy investment into nuclear power}} had allowed for the nation to have one of the highest amounts of operational nuclear power plants, at over fifty. Presently, the percentage of energy generated through nuclear power in Rumahoki is 84%; {{wp|wind energy}} is common along the shores of the nation and makes up about 8% of the energy generated in the country. {{wp|Solar energy}} is usually prevalent amongst more remote areas of the country and citizens who live {{wp|off-the-grid}}, making up 8% as well. | |||
These stats seem to suggest that there is no energy in Rumahoki that has been generated through {{wp|fossil fuels}}, the last of the {{wp|power plants}} in Rumahoki that made use of fossil fuels was shut down permanently in 2017 as part of the government's commitment to ending reliance on fossil fuels. The end of fossil fuel reliance for the energy sector has been seen as a source a pride throughout the country, ensuring that even a hypothetical {{wp|oil crisis}} will not turn into a potential {{wp|energy shortage}}. {{wp|Brownouts}} and {{wp|blackouts}} are recorded to be a rarity save for times of maintenance. | |||
{{wp|Wind turbines}} are at their most numerous within the [[Porto Taino Wind Farm]], a {{wp|wind farm}} located off the coast of northern [[Porta Gemeas]] that was constructed in 2006 and was fully operational by 2010. The rest of the wind turbines are located off the coast of [[Homberia]] as part of the [[New Rumas Wind Farm]], itself having been constructed in 2014 and was fully operational by 2016. All wind farms are connected to an on-shore "battery unit", a building that stores the energy generated by the wind farms for use on the power grids of the autonomous islands. Solar power has found its greatest use in the state of [[Auxana]], which has had a long history of opposing nuclear power. | |||
