The impact that RE-SAT has had in Vanuatu is the ability to explore potential scenarios to achieve their ambitious renewable energy targets of 100% by 2030. RE-SAT is currently used to identify potential sites for the next 5 MWp solar PV projects to be constructed in the next 2 to 3 years.

When will the commercial ready platform be available to Vanuatu?

The commercial ready platform (version 2) was successfully launched in Vanuatu in July 2021 during our final training workshop (due to the pandemic this took place online). A session to discuss the way forward of how the platform would be made available to Vanuatu after the funded project ends was also included.

What is the impact of low access to electricity in Vanuatu?

Project preparatory technical assistance was used in project preparation. Access to electricity nationwide in Vanuatu is low (33%), however drops even further in rural areas. Low access to reliable, affordable electricity has negative impact on the livelihoods of households, particularly rural households.

How many solar installations are there in efaté (Vanuatu)?

The total installed capacity is 6042 kW, generated by 5 solar PV installations and 1 on-shore wind farm (installed in 4 phases).
