View DetailsPapua New Guinea (PNG) faces an electricity access crisis, with only 14% of its population connected to the grid and even connected users experiencing unreliable service. Given the prohibitive cost of grid expansion, decentralized solar power presents a viable solution to PNG's electrification challenges.

Improved access to finance could the rapid development of solar power, according to Jon Pittar, Managing Director of solar provider, Solar Solutions PNG.
A basic solar home system providing lighting, phone charging, and a small radio/TV can cost US$500-$700, beyond the reach of most rural families. Around 40% of Papua New Guineans live below the national poverty line (World Bank, 2021), with very little discretionary spending capacity.
Investments are also needed to achieve the goal, announced by the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) in 2018 at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Port Moresby, of reaching a 70% electrification rate by 2030.
