With this project, 17,000 households throughout Vanuatu will be supported to access non grid, renewable electricity through solar. With low population densities and large distances between communities, a key challenge for the project has been providing access to electricity in a way that is cost effective and efficient.
Vanuatu currently has one of the lowest electricity access rates in the world. Under the RESSET project, New Zealand will serve as the lead donor, providing the majority of funding for the installation of solar arrays and battery storage systems on Efate, near Port Vila, and the island of Tanna.
This initiative responds directly to Vanuatu's national climate goals and energy needs by improving access to clean and reliable electricity. Vanuatu currently has one of the lowest electricity access rates in the world.
