“The new energy created by this dam is clean energy,” says Fiji Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama. “This dam will generate 100 million units of electricity a year that will power our progress — extending power lines to homes in the villages, in the farming areas, in the cities, and to businesses everywhere.”
A ceremony held this past week marks the completion of Fiji’s 40-MW Nadarivatu hydropower project, HydroWorld.com has learned. The US$150 million Nadarivatu hydroelectric plant, funded in large part by the China Development Bank and constructed by China’s Sinohydro Corporation Limited, will be operated by the Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA).
EERA Joint Program SP4 - Mechanical Storage Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) plants are a particular type of hydropower plants which allow not only to produce electric energy but also to store it in an upper reservoir in the form of gravitational potential energy of the water.
The plant was developed in accordance with Fiji’s desire to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and increase the percentage of renewables in its overall energy mix. According to government officials, the Nadarivatu plant will save about $24 million annually in imported diesel fuel.
Pumped hydro energy storage is undoubtedly the most mature large-scale energy storage technology. In Europe, at the time being, this technology represents 99% of the on-grid electricity storage (fig. 2).
Below are the Hydro Electricity Schemes that EFL has successfully undertaken. The Monasavu Hydro Scheme that was successfully commissioned in 1983 was the first of it’s kind for Fiji.
