The objective of the South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (STREP) in Kiribati is to enhance the utilization of renewable energy in the electricity production blend, lessening reliance on imported fossil fuels. The project's main objective is to set up solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems for a dependable and sustainable energy supply. It involves creating an energy law, enhancing skills, and making sure all parts of the population benefit. The project has environmental, economic, and social impacts through cutting greenhouse gas emissions, reducing energy costs, and enhancing energy security. With backing from the Asian Development Bank and various international collaborators, STREP is receiving both financial and technical support to carry out its implementation.

The Kiribati Grid-Connected Solar PV Project aims to reduce Kiribati's dependence on fossil fuels and increase its access to renewable energy by installing grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This project is vital for Kiribati, a nation highly vulnerable to climate change and reliant on imported diesel for electricity generation. By integrating solar PV into the existing grid, the initiative seeks to improve energy security, lower electricity costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project also focuses on building local capacity for the operation and maintenance of solar PV systems, ensuring long-term sustainability and promoting the adoption of renewable energy technologies in the Pacific Island nation.
