This project is intended to set up a commercial Rural Energy Service Company (ESCO) that charges a fee for the electricity supplied to the consumers as a sustainable institutional framework to operate the renewable energy system in Nabouwalu, for replication in other parts of Fiji. The commercial operation of the renewable-energy-based Rural ESCO is expected to reduce the operation and maintenance costs, mobilize more funding for rural electrification, thereby promoting widespread utilization of renewable energy in Fiji.
