4 FAQs about Solar energy research and development tonga

What is the Tonga solar project?

1. The project will construct and install solar power systems with a total capacity of 1.32 MWp on the outer islands of Tonga, and the existing grid network on the islands of Vava'u and 'Eua rehabilitated by TPL. (The rehabilitated grid network portions on Vava'u and 'Eua are expanded). 2.

Can Australia help secure Tonga's outer island energy needs?

Australia also has a long history of engagement in relation to helping secure Tonga's outer island energy needs. In the early 2000s, Australia funded the Ha'apai Outer Islands Electrification project (HOIEP), which involved the installation of diesel-powered generators and electrical reticulation on four islands in the Ha'apai group.

How many MWp of power will be built in Tonga?

1. THE PROJECT WILL CONSTRUCT AND INSTALL POWER SYSTEMS WITH A TOTAL CAPACITY OF 1.32 MWp ON THE OUTER ISLANDS OF TONGA, AND THE EXISTING GRID NETWORK ON THE ISLANDS OF VAVAU AND EUA REHABILITATED BY TPL (THE REHABILITATED GRID NETWORK PORTIONS ON VAVAU AND EUA ARE EXPANDED). (Phase 1): The plants have been built and are operational.

How did the oirep project impact Tonga?

The project achieved its proposed impact, in terms of helping Tonga reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuel for power generation with OIREP assets estimated to have reduced diesel usage by 0.5 million litres annually. Central to the project outcome was the provision of on-grid and off-grid generation solar power at reduced cost.
