The project's overarching vision is the establishment of a clean, reliable, and affordable energy and marine transport infrastructure in remote coastal Island communities.

Partners: Sustainable Transition Pacific PTE Limited, Clay Energy Limited, Northern Barges Limited, and University of South Pacific

Country: Fiji

Technology: Smart green grids

Stage: Early

Stage: Round 10

The initial stage of the project is conducting a feasibility study into the development of an innovative network of maritime island energy and distribution hubs in Fiji that are interconnected by electric vessel passenger and freight routes. Each hub will be a hybrid energy generation centre, drawing on a combination of Solar PV and Coconut Oil Generation. A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will be used to efficiently match supply and demand.

The project will improve energy access for land based consumers at the hubs and electric vessels serving routes between the hubs.
