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.
Since, Fiji is completely dependent on imported fossil fuels for its transportation needs and 33% dependent on electricity generation, it has to import despite increasing costs. In addition, it cannot control the global prices. To overcome challenges in energy sector, Fiji needs to come up with strategies.
Energy Fiji Limited, previously the Fiji Electricity Authority, was established, incorporated and constituted under the provisions of the Electricity Act of 1966 and began operating from 1 August of that year.
Like for many other SIDs Fiji’s geographical situation means that affordable and accessible energy supply is a challenge. The Island state depends heavily on imported fossil fuel to meet its energy needs, nevertheless, renewable energy sources, mainly hydro, account for 55% of the country’s total energy production.
By harnessing the abundant solar resources of the region, this project aligns with Fiji’s national target of achieving 100% renewable electricity and its international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, thus improving living standards, health outcomes, job creation, climate resilience and food security.
