The Butoni wind farm is operated by the Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA), and feeds directly into the grid for Viti Levu, which has a total capacity of about 140MW, and is operated by the FEA. The farm was commissioned in August 2007. Powered by SolarTech Power Solutions. . Fiji is embarking on a project to bring solar power to its remote islands. It starts by creating tenders for mini-grid construction, and employing tools to customize energy systems for each community ensuring each community's needs are met. In line with this plan, assessments have shown that a combination of solar, wind, geothermal, marine, biomass, and biofuel could be used to meet Fiji's energy needs. Why do we need solar power in Fiji? By harnessing the. . Fiji's breathtaking islands hold huge promise for renewable energy, especially wind power.

These are mainly mini/micro hydro schemes, solar energy for lighting (solar home systems), water pumps, solar hot water system, solar video, television, refrigeration and steam plant for drying copra etc. The DOE has also installed numerous wind monitoring stations at selected sites in Fiji to assess the potential for wind power generation.
In line with this plan, assessments have shown that a combination of solar, wind, geothermal, marine, biomass, and biofuel could be used to meet Fiji's energy needs. Currently, as much as 40 percent of Fiji's power is generated from diesel and heavy fuel oil, which is purchased via local companies from Singapore-based suppliers.
In May 2002 Clay Energy commissioned the first off-grid solar base station power system for Vodafone Fiji, which led to the rollout of these power systems to six mobile operators in the region. Clay Energy's first PV grid-connect system (18kW) was installed and commissioned in 2008, being the first in the region.
The DOE has also installed numerous wind monitoring stations at selected sites in Fiji to assess the potential for wind power generation. If these sites are found to be viable, potential investors and funding for wind power generation will be sought for development.
