Constrained renewable energy development and lack of private sector participation. While grid-connected solar power is the least-cost renewable energy option for South Tarawa and there is significant resource potential of 554 MW, deployment has been limited.
The photovoltaic systems account for 22% of installed capacity but supply only around 9% of demand on South Tarawa; diesel generation supplies the remaining 91%. The PUB serves more than 57,000 people in South Tarawa, which has the highest demand at 24.7 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2019.
Of the 6,825 households in South Tarawa, 72.4% have access to grid electricity, mainly for lighting. Around 20%–25% of households are headed by women. 10.
Grid-connected electricity in South Tarawa is generated and distributed by the state-owned Public Utilities Board (PUB), established under the Public Utilities Ordinance (1977, and further amended in 2000). The PUB’s mission is to commercially provide and maintain quality, reliable electricity, water, and sewerage disposal services to Tarawa.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
The power station, with a 300MW system, is claimed to be the largest compressed air energy storage power station in the world, with highest efficiency and lowest unit cost as well. [pdf]
