Nearly all of Solomon Islands’ grid power is diesel generated. Solar hybrid project 2017 at Taro. Image credit Solomon Power The Solomon Islands of Oceania are an archipelago with a rich history, some of it not so good for the residents there.
The project is being funded by a $10 million concessional loan and a $5 million grant from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), while the Saudi Fund for Development and state-owned Solomon Power are providing $10 million each. The government of the Solomon Islands is providing $7 million.
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 Islands.
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.
