The Electrifying Power of Results-Based Financing in Solomon Islands
Perhaps most encouraging, the success of this project is spurring adoption of RBF components in much larger energy projects in Solomon Islands. The Electricity Access and Renewable Energy Expansion project is investing nearly ten times as much as GPRBA in new grid connections in low-income areas. Additionally, Solomon Power has incorporated an

systems typically rely on renewable energy for most of the supply (>80% in Solomon Islands). The large share of renewables makes these systems almost independent and lowers the energy prices over the long term, and the diesel genset is used as a backup to assist in periods of high loads or low renewable power availability. #1.c
