The analysis of data for different sources of energy demonstrates that the potential renewable resources available to Fiji are hydropower, solar energy (photovoltaic and thermal), bioenergy, wind energy, ocean energy, tidal energy and geothermal energy.
The provision of energy in Fiji is provided through electrical power grids consisting of microgrids installed in Government facilities and community-run in rural areas. Furthermore, diesel generators and solar home systems also are utilized as a way of power providers.
Fiji neither has any fossil fuel energy resources nor any nuclear power stations. It imports all its fuel requirements for transportation and electricity. Renewable energy resources are mainly used for electric power generation. Due to geographical location of Fiji, it has good renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, biomass and hydro.
With the increasing role of the PV system in power generation, a local company Fiji Renewables Pte Limited (FRL) is formed which will be a subsidiary company owned by EFL to look after the Fiji Energy sector on renewables. The introduction of a new renewable energy generation system will improve macroeconomic stability.
Viti Levu and Vanua Levu are capable of generating wind power of 9 kW / m. The high energy coastlines can also be found here with similar levels to that of the southern coast of Kadavu. Reddy and Ahmed reported that Taveuni island in Fiji could generate 12 kW m − 1 wave energy monthly. 2.3. Tidal energy
By 2020 the electricity demand would reach to 1352 GW-hour (GWh) and a peak load demand of 256 MW, respectively . The provision of energy in Fiji is provided through electrical power grids consisting of microgrids installed in Government facilities and community-run in rural areas.
