Goroka, 14 July 2020 - Papua New Guinea has set an aspiration to generate 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2050. To achieve this, it must encourage community participation in off-grid and energy efficient solutions.
In the fourth in our series of briefings following the passing of the Energy Act 2023 (the Act) on 26 October 2023, our energy experts at Norton Rose Fulbright look at the implications of the Act
The island of New Guinea hosts the third largest expanse of tropical rainforest on the planet. Papua New Guinea—comprising the eastern half of the island—plans to nearly
Solar and biomass resources have been presented in this article because of their huge availability in Papua New Guinea. With the engagement of remote sensing and geographic information system technology, potentially suitable areas were identified and mapped for biomass and the availability of solar radiation.
The goal of energy development in PNG’s development strategic plan is to increase access to reliable, affordable, and modern clean energy to over 70 percent of all consumers by 2030 to meet future energy requirements and demands [ 18 ].
The daily highest total incoming solar radiation was calculated for December solstice (6.12 Kw/m²/day) and the highest average monthly for September (6.29 Kw/m²/day). This type of resulting output would contribute to helping eliminate energy problems and achieve PNG’s visions and strategic plans for current and future sustainable development.
The least amount of incoming solar insolation was received in the month of June with 5.24 Kw/m²/day in the north-facing direction. This is the period when the Southern Hemisphere is experiencing winter. During this time of the year, Papua New Guinea is experiencing torrential rainfall and fewer sunshine hours.
As per Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) Vision 2050, the country should be a resilient country by using sustainable development measures to provide for power generation which is 100 percent renewable, and to contribute towards the reduction of GHG emission.
This would help to eliminate energy problems, particularly the 87 percent of PNG’s population living in darkness. The use of solar radiation tools plays a very significant role in determining exactly how much energy is radiated from the sun to any receiving surface.
