Kiribati: 500kW Solar PV & Water Protection
Overview The UAE-PPF project is helping to meet the needs of 17 per cent of Kiribati''s population who live off-grid. The 500kW solar PV plant is also protecting an endangered freshwater aquifer by
The Oceania located nation of Kiribati has started construction on the country's largest solar PV project that's backed by the Asian Development Bank and the Government of New Zealand. It will be accompanied by a battery energy storage system (BESS). The 7.5 MW South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (STREP) is located on the Bonriki water reserve.
The proposed project will initiate and contribute to the transformation of the Kiribati energy sector to one that is low-carbon and adapted to growing climate and natural hazards. It will do this by installing the innovative, climate-adapted and efficient floating PV (FPV) for power generation and for services and benefits beyond electricity.

“The event marks a giant leap in Kiribati's transition into a resilient low-carbon economy.” The new photovoltaic plant on the Bonriki water reserve totals 7.5 megawatts and will enable more than 9,000 homes on South Tarawa, the Kiribati capital, to enjoy the benefits of reliable, efficient, and affordable solar-generated electricity.
