What is Fiji's Energy Trilemma?

As is the case in most national contexts, the oversight of Fiji’s energy sector is defined by the ‘energy trilemma’ which requires continual efforts to balance the challenges of energy security, energy sustainability, and energy access/equity.

How does Fiji ensure long-term energy security?

The Fijian Government seeks to ensure Fiji’s long-term energy security by increasing the availability of data and information required to support investments designed to increase the reliability and resilience of the national energy infrastructure.

Why is Fiji pursuing energy sustainability?

Fiji’s pursuit of energy sustainability will contribute to improved economic prosperity and will support access to new technologies. This NEP supports both energy sustainability and energy security objectives through a specific focus on demand-side and supply-side energy eficiency improvements.

What is Fiji's energy policy?

This Policy will ensure that Fiji’s agricultural sector and local industries can benefit from a further source of sustainable, indigenously-sourced energy while minimising any potential impacts on the environment or national food security.

How can Fiji improve national energy statistics?

Working in collaboration with the Fiji Bureau of Statistics, efforts will be made to improve the detail and relevance of national energy statistics to help influence and inform prioritisation, decision-making, planning, and resource mobilisation.

Why is Fiji's energy sector a long-term priority?

The resilient development and diversification of Fiji’s energy sector is a long-term priority for the Fijian Government due in part to rising national energy demand, volatile oil prices, ageing energy infrastructure, and the intensifying impacts of climate change and disaster events on Fiji’s infrastructure, environment, people, and economy.
