REnew Pacific launched its first project last week, which is set to benefit over 81,000 people in Solomon Islands by providing clean, renewable energy to power healthcare, education and essential services.
Led by Superbly Limited, a Solomon Islands-based solar energy company, the two-year project will install a solar hybrid system at Atoifi Adventist Hospital in Solomon Islands’ Eastern Malaita province, a key healthcare facility serving 80,000 people.
This will provide reliable energy for critical medical services, including emergency care and maternity, and power the hospital’s nursing school, which trains over half of the country’s nurses.
Goldie College in Western Province and Sir Dudley Tuti College in Isabel Province will also receive new solar hybrid systems, enabling extended learning hours, safer campuses and better supervision for over 1,400 students and staff.
Superfly Director, Gavin Pereira, highlighted that the project represented a transformative shift for Atoifi Adventist Hospital, Goldie College and Sir Dudley Tuti College, delivering sustainable, 24/7 power while significantly reducing diesel dependence.
“Through this REnew Pacific project, we’re not just installing solar systems, we’re building long-term energy resilience, lowering operational costs and improving essential services for thousands of people in remote Solomon Islands communities.”
Through REnew Pacific, the Australian Government is investing $1.3million in this project, which will also contribute to Solomon Islands’ national renewable energy, climate change and development ambitions.
