In line with these goals, Kiribati has initiated projects to expand solar power generation, with the support of international partners like the World Bank and the Green Climate Fund.
One notable example of international involvement is the Kiritimati Island Energy Roadmap, a project supported by the Pacific Region Infrastructure Facility (PRIF) that aims to achieve 100 per cent renewable energy for Kiritimati Island by 2025. This is part of Kiribati’s broader strategy to integrate renewable energy into its national energy mix.
Another significant area for development is Kiribati’s energy infrastructure. With a high reliance on diesel fuel for electricity, the country is looking to shift toward renewable energy sources as part of its broader efforts to combat climate change and ensure energy security.
“The World Bank stands with the Government of Kiribati in their efforts to realize the nation’s development priorities.” The project will be implemented by the Ministry for Line and Phoenix Islands Development and the Ministry of Information, Communications, Transport, and Tourism Development with support from the World Bank.
