The PNG Government aims to connect at least 70% of the population to electricity by 2030. As part of PNG Power Limited''s Fifteen Year Power Development Plan (2016- 2031), the project is also significant from an environmental viewpoint as it replaces diesel-generated power.
Amid challenges and ongoing rescue, decentralized hydropower solutions bring hope and tangible benefits to communities in Mount Hagen and Hogave, Papua New Guinea.
PNG Energy Developments, a 50:50 joint venture between Origin Energy and PNG Sustainable Development Program, is evaluating the hydroelectric potential of the Purari Hydro Resource at Wabo in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea.

With solar and renewable energy lacking clear strategic development plans, hydropower is expected to drive future renewable energy generation, as evidenced by the launch of several new hydro projects in recent years such as the Ramu 2 Hydro project and the recently completed Edevu Hydro Power plant.
It is planned on Lower Brown river/basin in Central Province, Papua New Guinea. According to GlobalData, who tracks and profiles over 170,000 power plants

PNG Energy Developments Limited (PNG EDL), a 50/50 joint venture of the PNG Sustainable Development Program (PNGSDP) and Origin Energy Ltd of Australia, evaluated the potential development of a renewable hydropower project on the Purari River in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Twenty20 Energy will roll out its proprietary power island floating storage regasification and power solution at 12 locations across Papua New Guinea (PNG) on behalf of PAWA PNG.
Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) is to undertake feasibility studies on seven new hydropower projects and 11 geothermal energy projects in Papua New Guinea, with the
Providing reliable power is crucial for expanding PPL’s on-grid customer base. The Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) has set a goal of achieving 70 percent national electrification by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050 and adopted the National Electrification Roll-Out Plan (NEROP) in 2019.
Located in Papua New Guinea’s Morobe province, the new hydropower plant involved the design and construction of several bespoke components including: A power station containing two 5.6 MW Pelton turbines. SMEC was appointed by PNG Forest Products to provide the tender design, tender documentation and tendering.
Given the relatively small population size, low access to electricity, commercial and technical challenges of hydropower, Papua New Guinea today has an installed capacity of less than 250 Mega Watts (MW). However, this is likely to increase over the coming decade with several projects under development.
But they are just a fraction of what Papua New Guinea can potentially deploy. Out of its theoretical maximum 251 gigawatts of hydropower potential, the country only generated 327 megawatts (MW) of hydropower by 2023. Still, Papua New Guinea was able to add 66 MW last year after capacity had been at a standstill for years.
