The project, which combines solar power and battery storage, will allow renewable energy to be generated and distributed continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency and built under the United Nations Development Program's Vanuatu Green Transformation Project, the new facilities power up the villages of Waterfall, Melsisi and Larimaat.
An up to 4,600 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) will be paired with a solar installation of 3 million solar modules providing 1. 1 GW of solar, it will generate enough electricity to power 850,000 homes for four hours.
A new report by energy think tank Ember finds that adding 89% more solar capacity and 60% more battery storage capacity by 2037 than the RPDP targets will help achieve savings, avoid excess new fossil fuel-fired capacity, enhance energy security and attract investments.
Announced during the Gateway Gulf 2025 Forum, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board, the project will generate 123 megawatts of solar power, including a 50-megawatt rooftop installation featuring 77,000 solar panels spread across 262,000 square meters at Foulath's.
Located at the Sejingkat Power Plant in Kuching and energised in December 2024, the 60MW/82MWh BESS provides essential grid services, including primary spinning reserve (emergency reserve), voltage and frequency regulation and peak demand management, supporting the overall.
