In light of Fiji''s commitments to address both the causes and impacts of climate change and transition rapidly, to a sustainable economy producing net-zero emissions annually by 2050, this National Energy Policy provides the intent, direction, and priority objectives to support national energy security, achieve universal and equitable access ...
Fiji has set itself a target of achieving 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030. Permanent Secretary for Forestry Pene Baleinabuli said there is a need for the stakeholders involved in the energy sector to strengthen collaboration to achieve this national goal.
According to the ADB Policy Brief, one of the biggest PIC economies - Fiji currently spends 17% of its GDP on oil imports to produce electricity to power domestic consumption and its energy-intensive mining and construction industry. However, 20% of its rural population still lacks access to electricity.
Fiji's national energy production and consumption remains highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, due to the current demands of the transport sector and the ongoing relience on thermal power plants to suppliment renewable energy sources within electricity sector.
In 2014, 55% of Fiji’s electricity was generated using renewable energy resources, making it the island state in the entire Pacific with the lowest oil dependency. In fact, on several of Fiji’s larger islands 60% of electricity comes from hydropower and biomass.
Like for many other SIDs Fiji’s geographical situation means that affordable and accessible energy supply is a challenge. The Island state depends heavily on imported fossil fuel to meet its energy needs, nevertheless, renewable energy sources, mainly hydro, account for 55% of the country’s total energy production.
To achieve the goal of providing reliable and affordable power supply for whole Fiji and to deliver climate agenda, a large investment effort for all the subareas generation expansion, transmission and distribution reinforcement has to be taken. Scenario-1: comprises of all hydro power plant proposals which are expected to be commissioned by 2031.
