Australia and Palau are advancing a major renewable energy project including a large-scale solar plant and battery storage upgrade funded by Australian investment, aiming to increase renewable energy to 25% of Palau's electricity and significantly cut diesel use. Australia also committed funds for a Pacific Renewable Energy Commissioner and related regional climate initiatives ahead of upcoming climate conferences.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can target emerging renewable projects in the Pacific now that Australia is funding significant solar and battery upgrades and backing a new Renewable Energy Commissioner. This opens up regional opportunities to provide renewable tech and services as reliance on diesel drops sharply.
