Welcome to South Tarawa, Kiribati – ground zero for climate change and the unexpected testing ground for one of the Pacific''s most innovative energy storage projects.
It is the first ADB project in Kiribati''s energy sector. STREP aims to strengthen Kiribati''s renewable energy capacity through the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, a battery
South Tarawa Solar-Storage Powerhouse. In April 2024, construction began on the nation''s largest renewable energy initiative. This Asian Development Bank-funded project features: The system''s
The South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (STREP-the project), ADB''s first in Kiribati''s energy sector, will finance climate-resilient solar photovoltaic generation, a battery energy storage system,
STREP has three outputs: (i) solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage system installed; (ii) draft energy act to enable increased deployment of renewable energy developed; and (iii) institutional
The South Tarawa Energy Storage Station demonstrates how cutting-edge battery technology can transform energy security in island communities. By combining solar power with smart storage, it
The South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (STREP-the project), ADB"s first in Kiribati"s energy sector, will finance climate-resilient solar photovoltaic generation, a battery
The project builds upon and expands the scope and outputs of the ongoing $14.7 million South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (STREP) approved in November 2020 with grant funding from ADB''s
The project will ultimately drive down the cost of power generation, reduce the country''s reliance on imported fossil fuels, and enhance institutional capacity across the sector, including through creation
