The BRANTV project was designed specifically to be an enabler in promoting the implementation of the NERM of Vanuatu demonstrating various renewable energy solutions, providing affordable and clean energy services to the 71 percent of rural off-grid communities throughout Vanuatu. The project is a vehicle to promote Vanuatu rural off grid connection with the development of renewable energy technologies in the selected 34 sites in Vanuatu serving 13,000 rural population with 2,500 households actively supported by UNDP through GEF funding mechanism. The newly installed Solar PV Nano-grid connection for Liro Community on Paama island is a testament to the directives from the government through the project, where rural remote island communities in the provinces can have access to clean and affordable electricity to improve the livelihood and their wellbeing.

People living in the communities will benefit from the electricity by way of improving their welfare, health, improved delivery of services, boost productions in all sectors more particularly the agriculture sector, enhance business relations and increase market and trading system. It will also benefit women, girls and people living with disabilities.

The Solar PV Nano-grid on Paama island is one off a kind demonstration site under the project whereby the Department of Energy is seeking to understand the various economically and technically viable options in energy solutions for Vanuatu and identify the options that are cost effective and efficient in the rural context which can later be replicated to other rural communities in Vanuatu. The Vallen Family Compound PV Solar Nano Grid System is serving 22 households in the community of Liro with 211 population which have direct connections on the four systems including businesses and public institutions.
