Why is the Solomon Islands transforming its energy sector?Speaking at the launch, Deputy Secretary Daniel Rove said Solomon Islands with high dependency on imported fossil fuel and high energy costs has prioritized transformation of its energy sector as reflected in the Solomon Islands National Energy Policy and its subsequent reviews.
Is biomass a source of electricity in Solomon Islands?Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Solomon Islands: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
What's new at Solomon power station?The project was completed by MAN diesel for over SBD120m. The new station has been commissioned and is currently in operation. Furthermore to improve the reliability Solomon Power invested in a new 11 kV switchboard, two 1.6 MW diesel generators and two new power transformers at Honiara Power Station.
Is Solomon power constructing a new outstation in malu'u?This is the first time in 31 years that Solomon Power is constructing a new outstation the last one being in Malu’u. The scope includes solar panels, battery storage system, back up diesel generator and 415 V distribution network to connect about 200 customers at each of these sites in Western Province and Choiseul Province.
What is Solomon power's capital expansion programme?With a capital expansion programme of over SBD1 billion, Solomon Power strives to develop and implement its planned capital and infrastructure projects over the next five years that will support its mission to provide a safe, reliable and affordable supply of electricity to the Solomon Islan
