Does Tongatapu need a solar power plant? Tongan Prime Minister Hu???akavameiliku Siaosi Sovaleni, who was also at the launch, said the plant indicates the need for independent power - like solar
Producing energy since August this year, and providing power for up to 10,336 households, the Solar Farm is helping The Government of Tonga pursue its National Energy Roadmap plans to see up to 70% of Tongatapu's electricity generation sourced from renewables by the end of 2025.
In the presence of Their Majesties King Tupou VI & Queen Nanasipau'u, The King & Queen of The Kingdom of Tonga, Tonga's new 6MW solar power plant was officially launched today at Fualu, Tongatapu by Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Tonga, Hon. Hu'akavameiliku.
According to UK-based aggregate website Cable, Tonga's electricity is the 13th most expensive in the world, at an average cost of USD 0.35 per kilowatt hour (kWh).
This means that little more than 30,000 people are spread across 35 islands, presenting acute issues in terms of the provision of modern infrastructure. At OIREP commencement, the ADB estimated that 89% of all households across Tonga had access to electricity.
