The Problem
Vanuatu has some of the most expensive electricity in the world. Being dependent mostly on diesel generation, electricity is not going to get cheaper.
The Opportunity
In several recent rullings the Vanuatu Utilities Regulatory Authority has stated that ‘self-generation’ is allowed within UNELCO’s concession area. This opens the door for commercial solar. See the new Vanuatu Standards here.
The Solution
By combining solar with grid connected electricity, in most cases 40% or more of your energy can come free from your own roof.
Recent solar feasibility studies in Vanuatu have shown rates of return on investment of 20-30%, payback periods under 4 years and the effective system life cost of electricity under Vt6 per kWh.
