Solar mini-grids power up remote Tongan islands
Tonga is making tangible progress toward its renewable energy targets with the rollout of solar-powered mini-grid systems across its outer islands, in a bold move to reduce its dependence
Producing energy since August this year, and providing power for up to 10,336 households, the Solar Farm is helping The Government of Tonga pursue its National Energy Roadmap plans to see up to 70% of Tongatapu's electricity generation sourced from renewables by the end of 2025.
The Sunergise Tongatapu Solar Farm is the largest in the South Pacific. It was built as part of a power purchase agreement between Sunergise New Zealand Limited, a Todd Corporation solar company and Tonga Power Limited, with support from the Asian Development Bank.
In the presence of Their Majesties King Tupou VI & Queen Nanasipau'u, The King & Queen of The Kingdom of Tonga, Tonga's new 6MW solar power plant was officially launched today at Fualu, Tongatapu by Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Tonga, Hon. Hu'akavameiliku.
Comprising three interconnected 2.3MWp ground mounted solar arrays in western Tongatapu, the construction phase successfully met the extreme challenges presented by the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption and resulting tsunami, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.
