Technical FAQs 4

Does South Tarawa need battery storage?

The current power system in South Tarawa already has installed or planned grid connected PV capacity to meet some of the peak demand, but grid reliability will increasingly be put at risk as additional intermittent generation is added to the grid. Thus, to ensure system stability, battery storage needs to be deployed in the immediate future.

What percentage of South Tarawa's electricity is solar?

As of March 2018, 22% of total installed electricity capacity on South Tarawa is ground and roof-mounted solar PV.

Who financed the South Tarawa water supply project?

Supported by the bank and co-financed by the Kiwi government, the project's solar and BESS components were procured under the ADB's South Tarawa Water Supply Project co-financed by the World Bank and the Green Climate Fund.

Who produces grid-connected electricity in South Tarawa?

Grid-connected electricity in South Tarawa is generated and distributed by the state-owned Public Utilities Board (PUB), established under the Public Utilities Ordinance (1977, and further amended in 2000). The PUB’s mission is to commercially provide and maintain quality, reliable electricity, water, and sewerage disposal services to Tarawa.
