This project is aligned to the Government of Vanuatu’s National Energy Road Map for increasing the energy access for rural communities in Vanuatu. The installed solar PV system is a stand-alone 230/400 VAC 50Hz solar micro-grid combined with 48V batteries operating 24 hours and 7 days a week.
4 Vanuatu Utilities Infrastructure supplies electricity in Luganville and Port Olry (Santo), Sola (Banks) and Talise (Maewo). 5 The Department of Energy (DoE) supplies electricity in the Tanna and Malekula concessions since mid-July 2020 and has commenced charging tariff in October of 2020.
The total installed capacity is 6042 kW, generated by 5 solar PV installations and 1 on-shore wind farm (installed in 4 phases). This configuration of installations was run through 3 simulated weather years to capture year on year variability. Figure 23: Existing wind and solar installations in Efaté (Vanuatu) as of 2021.
On the remote island of Malekula, a new solar micro-grid is changing the lives of over 2,800 people -- boosting local development while contributing to Vanuatu’s sector-specific target of transitioning to close to 100 percent renewable energy in the electricity sector by 2030.
Access to reliable and sustainable electricity supply is a game-changer for remote communities, and the Government of Vanuatu is planning to embark on a comprehensive programme which will electrify most inhabited islands in Vanuatu through renewable energy.
