Solarisation of Head of State Residences in the Pacific
Solar photovoltaic systems will be installed on executive residences or other publicly-owned buildings of national importance in Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Nauru, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Tuvalu, Timor-Leste and at the Pacific Islands Development Forum headquarters in Suva, Fiji.
On-site users will be trained to operate and maintain the PV based systems on a day-to-day basis. Finally, the project will include local and global public outreach and dialogue with policy makers on the need to accelerate the uptake of sustainable energy as part of meeting the Pacific Island Countries ambitious energy sector and climate change mitigation targets. The project is an example of a whole-of-society approach, specifically a multi-stakeholder partnership, with partners from the public and private sectors, as well as civil society.
