The South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (STREP) in Kiribati aims to increase solar power generation in South Tarawa. Started in 2021, the project includes installing solar PV and battery energy storage systems, improving infrastructure, and regulatory changes to support renewable energy growth. Key components include solar PV and battery storage installation, developing an energy act, and capacity building. The project enhances energy security, reduces dependence on imported fuels, saves costs, and promotes sustainability. By generating clean electricity and reducing CO2 emissions, STREP benefits the environment and supports Kiribati's transition to a low-carbon energy sector for climate resilience and sustainable development.
