Double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. Fiji has seen significant progress over the last ten years, especially in the area of access to modern energy and in increasing
Fiji and dispersed islands within Fiji group leads to many challenges to have accessible, affordable and sustainable energy supply. These challenges are comprehensively discussed
The emphasis is on moving Fiji''s power supply from fossil fuels to renewable energy. This was the comment made by the Minister for Infrastructure Jone Usamate during a debate on the Review of the Fiji Electricity Authority
The analysis of data for different sources of energy demonstrates that the potential renewable resources available to Fiji are hydropower, solar energy (photovoltaic and thermal), bioenergy, wind energy, ocean energy, tidal energy and geothermal energy.
Incentives are offered to encourage investments in energy generation through renewable energy sources and to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Fiji has untapped renewable energy resources such as hydro, wind, biomass, solar, and geothermal, which can be used for energy generation.
With the increasing role of the PV system in power generation, a local company Fiji Renewables Pte Limited (FRL) is formed which will be a subsidiary company owned by EFL to look after the Fiji Energy sector on renewables. The introduction of a new renewable energy generation system will improve macroeconomic stability.
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.
As a developing nation with its increasing energy demands, Fiji is in the process of introducing renewables to generate green power to minimize its reliance on fossil fuels and to minimize greenhouse emissions. The paper focuses on green power generation with the available renewables.
The Government of Fiji is committed to utilize natural renewable energy resources available and generate 99% green electrical power by 2030. This paper sets a benchmark for other pacific island nations in realizing the success that renewables are achieving in the isolated populations of Fiji.
