6 FAQs about [Fiji energy storage pilot]

What is Fiji's energy policy?

Fiji’s Electricity Act: Oversees electricity generation, distribution, and pricing. National Energy Policy: Focuses on energy access, renewable integration, and energy security. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs): Encourage collaboration in energy infrastructure projects, particularly in renewable energy.

How does Fiji ensure long-term energy security?

The Fijian Government seeks to ensure Fiji’s long-term energy security by increasing the availability of data and information required to support investments designed to increase the reliability and resilience of the national energy infrastructure.

How can Fiji improve energy infrastructure?

Remote islands and rugged terrain pose challenges to energy infrastructure development. Solutions include investing in off-grid technologies and leveraging renewable resources tailored to local conditions. While Fiji aims to phase out fossil fuels, diesel generators still play a significant role in energy production.

Why is Fiji's energy sector a long-term priority?

The resilient development and diversification of Fiji’s energy sector is a long-term priority for the Fijian Government due in part to rising national energy demand, volatile oil prices, ageing energy infrastructure, and the intensifying impacts of climate change and disaster events on Fiji’s infrastructure, environment, people, and economy.

Why is Fiji pursuing energy sustainability?

Fiji’s pursuit of energy sustainability will contribute to improved economic prosperity and will support access to new technologies. This NEP supports both energy sustainability and energy security objectives through a specific focus on demand-side and supply-side energy eficiency improvements.

Why does Fiji rely on fossil fuels?

National energy production and consumption in Fiji remains highly dependent on imported fossil fuels in part due to the current demands of the transport sector and the ongoing reliance on thermal power plants to supplement renewable energy sources within Fiji’s electricity sector.
