Fiji energy storage station project estimates
Fiji steps closer to its renewable energy goals with USTDA grant for a feasibility study that will support the development of up to 75 solar-powered mini-grids with energy storage providing
Fiji neither has any fossil fuel energy resources nor any nuclear power stations. It imports all its fuel requirements for transportation and electricity. Renewable energy resources are mainly used for electric power generation. Due to geographical location of Fiji, it has good renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, biomass and hydro.
The energy demand in Fiji is steadily increasing, driven by population growth, economic development, and a push toward industrialisation. Urban centres such as Suva and Nadi account for the majority of energy consumption, while rural areas often depend on decentralised and off-grid solutions.
Urban centres such as Suva and Nadi account for the majority of energy consumption, while rural areas often depend on decentralised and off-grid solutions. The Fijian government has set a bold target to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2036, as outlined in the National Energy Policy (NEP).
In 2015, the country's total installed electricity generation capacity was 296 megawatts, of which the Fiji National Electricity Authority operated 94%. Of this capacity, 254 megawatts was grid connected. Like for many other SIDs Fiji's geographical situation means that affordable and accessible energy supply is a challenge.
