Fiji

Fiji's grid already draws around half its power from hydro – and Energy Fiji Limited is aiming for 90% renewable generation by 2035. Getting there means new solar, storage and grid infrastructure across Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

The challenge

Growing demand, a rain-dependent grid

Hydropower – led by the Monasavu scheme – is the backbone of Fiji's renewable supply. But hydro depends on rainfall. In dry years, Energy Fiji Limited has to run more diesel and fuel-oil generation to keep the lights on, which raises costs and emissions.

Demand for electricity is expected to grow by around 5% a year. To meet it while cutting fuel use, EFL plans major investment in grid-scale solar farms, battery storage and the transmission network to connect new generation to where power is used.

Where we can help

Project focus

Exploring ocean thermal energy in Fiji

NETS is exploring the potential for ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) in Fiji. Unlike solar and wind, OTEC can supply renewable power continuously – a valuable complement to hydro as the country moves toward its 2035 target.
