Vanuatu Wind Solar and Storage Project

In Vanuatu, REnew Pacific has been pivotal in launching a $75 million solar generation and battery storage project. Developed in collaboration with New Zealand-based Infratec and French-owned Unelco, this project will considerably augment the country’s renewable energy capacity. [pdf]

FAQS about Vanuatu Wind Solar and Storage Project

Will solar power boost Vanuatu's energy independence and climate resilience?

The project aims to support the use of solar power and battery storage on the islands of Efate and Tanna, boosting Vanuatu’s energy independence and climate resilience. New Zealand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Winston Peters, confirmed the country’s commitment during a press conference held in Port Vila on Wednesday.

How can Vanuatu benefit from solar power?

With this project, 17,000 households throughout Vanuatu will be supported to access non grid, renewable electricity through solar. With low population densities and large distances between communities, a key challenge for the project has been providing access to electricity in a way that is cost effective and efficient.

Does Vanuatu have a low electricity access rate?

Vanuatu currently has one of the lowest electricity access rates in the world. Under the RESSET project, New Zealand will serve as the lead donor, providing the majority of funding for the installation of solar arrays and battery storage systems on Efate, near Port Vila, and the island of Tanna.

Does Vanuatu need electricity?

This initiative responds directly to Vanuatu’s national climate goals and energy needs by improving access to clean and reliable electricity. Vanuatu currently has one of the lowest electricity access rates in the world.
