The island nation of Fiji will become home to the largest solar project of its kind in the Pacific, a 15MW project that will significantly lower the country’s reliance on costly imported fossil fuels.
Suva, Fiji, October 21, 2020- A landmark agreement between Energy Fiji Limited (EFL) and IFC to deliver the largest solar project of its kind in the Pacific to date has been hailed a transformative step that will take the island nation closer to its goal of sourcing 100 percent of its energy needs from renewable sources.
According to the annual reports of Energy Fiji Limited (EFL), there has been some solar electricity generated from 1998 to 2007 by solar PV system that was commissioned in November 1997 (FEA 2016). In 1998, this system generated around 12 MWh of electricity and was doing well for almost 6 years.

The $A21 million project is expected to generate enough electricity to transition 14,000 Fijian households to solar energy and will dramatically reduce Fiji’s reliance on imported fossil fuels. Currently, approximately 45% of Fiji’s power needs are supplied through fossil fuels, 50% through hydropower, and the remaining 5% from biomass and wind.
A press release issued by the IFC, the private sector arm of multilateral development lender the World Bank, revealed plans for a US$15 million solar project to install at least 15 MW of generation capacity connected to the Energy Fiji grid which supplies 90% of the nation's population.
