Component 3: US$ 2.5million to add grid-connected solar power to contribute to the overall share of renewable energy in Solomon Islands energy mix. Solomon Power has identified three possible sites for grid-connected solar PV, not all of which are likely to be funded under the Project. These include:
This will provide access of low-income households to electricity in Peri-urban and rural areas of Solomon Islands, and by increasing the generation capacity of renewable energy facilities (solar PV) in the Islands.
Investing in the Solomon Islands can generate skills demand and employment opportunities, contributing to economic development. The Solomon Islands Census (2009) reported a total population of almost 516,000 with an annual growth rate of 2.3%.
The financing package for the project, worth over US$200 million, through loans and grants from six institutions, marks the first large-scale infrastructure project for Solomon Islands to be developed as a public-private partnership (PPP).
But in the idyllic Pacific, that future is here. Five of the Solomon Islands have completely disappeared under water over the past seven decades, one drawing its last breath as recently as 2011, according to a study published in Environmental Research Letters.
