Who owns the mini-grids in the Solomon Islands?Solomon Power will oversee the construction of the mini grids following a supply and install contract. These mini-grids will be owned, operated and maintained by Solomon Power, rather than community managed, as Solomon Power is better equipped to reliably operate and maintain hybridized systems.
Why is the power supply in the Solomon Islands so volatile?Currently, most of the power in the Solomon Islands is dependent on diesel generated power which uses imported fuel. This volatile energy supply structure is susceptible to soaring fuel prices, and the people want it to be rectified as soon as possible.
Does Solomon have a solar system?Solomon has natural conditions suitable for solar power, and they are promoting renewable energy, but the grid-connected photovoltaic power generation system (hereinafter referred to as “grid-connected PV system”) has not been introduced.
What is the power generation capacity of Solomon Islands?The power generating capacity of the Solomon Islands is currently 10.2 MW, which is equal to its peak load capacity. One mining company in the Solomon Islands generates its own electricity with a power capacity of 11 MW and a peak load of 8 – 9 MW.
Where are the Solomon Power mini-grids located?Solomon Power has established a process of prioritizing mini-grids based on population, accessibility, and availability of land. Two mini-grids, at Taro (Choiseul Province) and Seghe (Western Province), have been completed.
How much money does a private company need in the Solomon Islands?The interviews were conducted in the following 6 locations. According to the results of the customer survey, the maximum investment at one time for the average private company in the Solomon Islands is 200,000 SBD, so it was determined that deployment would be difficult with an initial cost similar the one for this proje
