Looks great guys!!
Bringing on solar sooner, to the frontline of climate change, in the North West Pacific.
Latest news:
Sunergise and Infratec have completed a NZ$7.3 million, two-year project delivering five renewable energy plants spanning four Pacific nations — Nauru, Federated State of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau.
The project represents a significant step forward in improving energy sustainability and supply resilience for the four countries, which currently rely heavily on expensive and polluting diesel fuel for energy generation.
The project is set to save 750,000 litres of diesel fuel per year, equivalent to 2000 tonnes of CO2 each year (or 19 acres of native New Zealand forest).
Joint venture partners, Sunergise and Infratec commenced the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) contract in June 2018, with grant funding from the NZ Aid Programme and the European Development Fund. As of 31st March 2020 all five sites are fully operational.
The JV partners installed 1.7MWp of solar PV systems (or 4,888 panels) across five sites, ranging from a 1.1MW solar farm in Nauru, to a 65kWp/165Wh solar+battery mini-grid in the village in Kayangel, Palau.
The North West Pacific and Nauru solar project is New Zealand’s first renewable energy project in Micronesia. Following undertakings made at the 2016 Pacific Island Forum, the initiative is part of New Zealand’s commitment to our Pacific neighbours.
