Who is financing a solar energy project in the Solomon Islands?
The Asian Development Bank, Saudi Fund for Development, and Solomon Power are all financing the project. A project is now underway on the Solomon Islands to help the country accelerate its renewable energy generation.
Is Solomon power constructing a new outstation in malu'u?
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.
How is the Solomon Islands project funded?
The project is being funded by a $10 million concessional loan and a $5 million grant from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), while the Saudi Fund for Development and state-owned Solomon Power are providing $10 million each. The government of the Solomon Islands is providing $7 million.
What's new at Solomon power station?
The project was completed by MAN diesel for over SBD120m. The new station has been commissioned and is currently in operation.
