Existing hydropower projects in Fiji also include the 6-MW Wainakisou Power Station, which is scheduled for an upgrade that would increase both the head and storage capacity, and the 3-MW Nagado Power Station. Planned projects will add more than 25 percent additional energy generation from hydropower to the country’s energy grid.
It is a small island developing state (SIDS) that is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuel for its energy needs. The paper attempts to determine the past and current energy situation in Fiji, challenges faced and strategizes to overcome these challenges. In 2014, Fiji generated 859 GW h of grid electricity from 259.8 MW of power plants.
The access to modern energy to rural or remote islands and villages in Fiji is made possible by external aid; namely Chinese, Japanese, US, Korean, Turkish governments, to name a few. The technologies and expertise is provided by external aid. This assists GoF to install and commission renewable energy projects.
Hydro power makes the largest contribution from renewable energy resources for electricity production in Fiji. Currently, there is 130 MW of installed capacity of hydro power out of which 0.18 MW is installed by FDoE for off-grid power while the rest is installed by FEA (grid-connected).
Capacity building for all stakeholders can be carried out by the donor agency which sets up the RE or EE project or by GoF. Trainers in Fiji, need to trained for skills and knowledge in operation and maintenance of RE or EE systems, to provide more frequent training of communities.
