6 FAQs about [Off grid electrification Fiji]

Does Fiji have grid electricity?

Dispersion of islands in Fiji makes it difficult to provide grid electricity on every island. Hence, only three major islands have grid electricity while the rest have electricity access through REU of FDoE and resorts on islands have their own diesel generators.

Can solar PV help Fiji achieve 100% electrification?

Fiji is a small island developing state and its numerous geographically dispersed islands present unique challenges for 100% electrification. Solar PV can help establish distributed systems to provide electricity to un/underserved population.

Does Fiji have a gcpv or mini off-grid PV system?

Two companies in Fiji are actively involved in installation of GCPV or mini off-grid PV system in Fiji. GCPV systems have been installed however; currently it is not feeding into the grid. These remain off-grid. Mini off-grids are mostly used on island resorts. Two resorts have installed solar PV mini grid for their energy usage.

Does energy Fiji have grid storage?

Hence, for this work grid storage is not considered. At present, Energy Fiji Limited (EFL) is responsible for providing grid electricity generation to four different islands (Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Ovalau and Taveuni) where each one of them have their own grid network and power generation stations.

What are the responsibilities of energy institutions in Fiji?

Energy institutions in Fiji. Responsible for energy policies and plans, energy efficiency and conservation, renewable energy (RE) and rural electrification. Overall coordination of all energy related activities. Responsible for generation, transmission and distribution of grid electricity. It plans the national grid.

What is the energy situation in Fiji?

It is a small island developing state (SIDS) that is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuel for its energy needs. The paper attempts to determine the past and current energy situation in Fiji, challenges faced and strategizes to overcome these challenges. In 2014, Fiji generated 859 GW h of grid electricity from 259.8 MW of power plants.
