The analysis of data for different sources of energy demonstrates that the potential renewable resources available to Fiji are hydropower, solar energy (photovoltaic and thermal), bioenergy, wind energy, ocean energy, tidal energy and geothermal energy.
Fiji aims to provide universal electricity access through the Fiji Rural Electrification Fund. This goal requires significant investment in: Decentralised solar and mini-grid systems. Micro-hydropower projects for remote communities. Energy storage solutions to enhance reliability. With the integration of renewables, there is a growing need for:
The provision of energy in Fiji is provided through electrical power grids consisting of microgrids installed in Government facilities and community-run in rural areas. Furthermore, diesel generators and solar home systems also are utilized as a way of power providers.
Solar PV has been in use in Fiji for almost three decades. One of the first use of solar PV was in solar home system (SHS) that provided electricity to power basic appliances in rural households where grid electricity was not reachable. Currently, there are two types of SHS installed in Fijian homes.
According to the annual reports of Energy Fiji Limited (EFL), there has been some solar electricity generated from 1998 to 2007 by solar PV system that was commissioned in November 1997 (FEA 2016). In 1998, this system generated around 12 MWh of electricity and was doing well for almost 6 years.
Hence, for this work grid storage is not considered. At present, Energy Fiji Limited (EFL) is responsible for providing grid electricity generation to four different islands (Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Ovalau and Taveuni) where each one of them have their own grid network and power generation stations.
