Solomon Islands Boosts Solar Energy with ADB-Led Project
The Solomon Islands partners with an ADB-led group to build new solar PV parks and energy storage, aiming to reduce diesel dependency. Learn about this major renewable energy initiative.
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.
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.
