This will provide access of low-income households to electricity in Peri-urban and rural areas of Solomon Islands, and by increasing the generation capacity of renewable energy facilities (solar PV) in the Islands.
Component 3: US$ 2.5million to add grid-connected solar power to contribute to the overall share of renewable energy in Solomon Islands energy mix. Solomon Power has identified three possible sites for grid-connected solar PV, not all of which are likely to be funded under the Project. These include:
The Act sets out in very wide terms the functions and duties of the Solomon Islands Electricity Authority (SIEA). The SIEA (trading as Solomon Power) is generally in charge of all matters related to electricity production and transmission/distribution in Solomon Islands, including ensuring standards of safety, efficiency and economy.
Air conditioning in government offices and business houses is a significant contributor to energy consumption in Solomon Islands. Proper maintenance and the introduction of more efficient air conditioners with controls that allow the system to shut down when not needed are ways to reduce energy consumption in this area.
The power generating capacity of the Solomon Islands is currently 10.2 MW, which is equal to its peak load capacity. One mining company in the Solomon Islands generates its own electricity with a power capacity of 11 MW and a peak load of 8 – 9 MW.
This is the first time in 31 years that Solomon Power is constructing a new outstation the last one being in Malu’u. The scope includes solar panels, battery storage system, back up diesel generator and 415 V distribution network to connect about 200 customers at each of these sites in Western Province and Choiseul Province.
