Under Implementation

A hydropower facility to transit power system in Solomon Islands from diesel generated to clean and renewable energy.

Universal grid-connected electricity supply is a major challenge across the 90 Solomon Island’s inhabited islands. The electrification rate is only around 45%, and many rural areas served by small PV panels, whilst the state-owned power utility SIEA is almost entirely dependent upon diesel generators for supply to the capital. The Solomon Islands seeks to greatly increase access to reliable electricity supply, doubling the number of households supplied by SIEA by 2021, whilst also increasing the use of renewable energy to 50% by 2020.

The Tina River Hydropower Development Project (TRHDP) will respond to these goals with a 15MW installation providing 65% of electricity demand for the capital Honiara by the online date of 2022.  It will lower the cost of electricity supply, and diversify generation capacity towards clean, renewable sources. TRHDP will provide the Solomon Islands with reservoir capacity, giving flexibility to the power system to enable higher penetration of PV power without the need for large and expensive energy storage or diesel generators. It can provide a replicable model for other Pacific SIDS to use hydropower to balance variable solar power.

The Green Climate Fund will support the development by providing a USD 70 million loan over 40 years to finance a portion of the debt of the project company for the hydropower plant development. It will also provide a grant of USD 16 million to co-finance the construction of an access road to the site.

The project has an estimated lifespan of 50 years.

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.
