📋 Tender Overview
Status: Approved
Status: ApprovedGrant
The project will support the government of fiji to demonstrate a clean, sustainable, and reliable rural electrification model that can be replicated across the country, by expanding and upgrading a mini-hydropower facility and installing a solar photovoltaic (pv)-based mini-grid together with battery energy storage system (bess) in remote locations. the project will also help create a robust operations and maintenance (o&m) system for rural electrification in fiji, through institutional strengthening of the government and capacity development of the concerned communities. the project will directly benefit approximately 190 households (or approximately 1,070 individuals) in remote locations, by improving their access to electricity generated from renewable energy sources.
The proposed project will demonstrate hybrid renewable energy model, combining mini hydropower, solar photovoltaic based mini-grid system, and battery energy storage system to supply stable clean electricity in rural fiji. upon successful completion in 2027, the project will supply 100% of renewable energy power to meet the demand in targeted communities. together with capacity enhancement for the government, relevant energy agencies, and local communities to establish robust operations and maintenance system, the project is also expected to be replicated in the other rural communities in fiji.
