We''ve installed systems across Vanuatu—from single homes to multi-building complexes. We partner with leading solar and battery manufacturers and remain vendor-neutral to always
Access to energy is a game-changer for remote communities, and the Government of Vanuatu is planning to embark on a comprehensive programme which will electrify most inhabited islands
Summary: Vanuatu, a Pacific island nation, is pioneering the integration of wind, solar, and hydrogen storage to achieve energy independence. This article explores the technical,

The project underscores the Vanuatu government’s commitment to decarbonising the electricity supply and aligning with international climate change goals. Notably, this solar farm represents the final direct-to-grid PV installation that can operate without an accompanying battery. Future projects will necessitate energy storage solutions.
The project aims to support the use of solar power and battery storage on the islands of Efate and Tanna, boosting Vanuatu’s energy independence and climate resilience. New Zealand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Winston Peters, confirmed the country’s commitment during a press conference held in Port Vila on Wednesday.
This project is aligned to the Government of Vanuatu’s National Energy Road Map for increasing the energy access for rural communities in Vanuatu. The installed solar PV system is a stand-alone 230/400 VAC 50Hz solar micro-grid combined with 48V batteries operating 24 hours and 7 days a week.
This project has been implemented by the Ministry of Climate Change, with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and funding from the Government of Austria This project is aligned to the Government of Vanuatu’s National Energy Road Map for increasing the energy access for rural communities in Vanuatu.
