Installation of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) arrays and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at each of three existing water pumping stations on Rotuma
GGGI seeks to engage a competent contractor to work with to install solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays and battery energy storage systems (BESS) at each of three existing water pumping stations on the island of Rotuma,Fiji.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The project “Enhancing Resilience to Climate Change of Maritime Islands of Fiji, through solar hybrid powered water supply system”, aims to address water insecurity and energy dependence in Fiji's remote maritime islands. The initiative, led by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) in partnership with the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF), focuses on transitioning from diesel-powered water pumping systems to renewable energy solutions, primarily solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This transition will enhance water security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce carbon emission and fossil fuel reliance, reduce operational costs, and improve the resilience of communities to climate-induced extreme weather events. The project funding will be from REnew Pacific.
The project will be implemented across seven sites in Lakeba, Rotuma, and Vanua Balavu, benefiting approximately 4,900 residents. Key project components include final site assessments, procurement of renewable energy equipment, infrastructure installation, and comprehensive training on operations and maintenance (O&M) for local WAF staff. The project aligns with Fiji's National Development Plan, Rural Electrification Policy, and Low Emission Development Strategy, supporting national goals for climate resilient infrastructure and emissions reduction and will help meet Fiji government’s target to achieve 100% electricity access by 2036.
By integrating solar power into water systems, the project will reduce operational costs, and strengthen institutional capacity for sustainable management of renewable energy assets.
Additionally, the project emphasizes social inclusion, particularly of women and vulnerable groups, through participatory engagement and training.
The objective of the project is to support 7 locations across 3 islands through water security that leads to improved community livelihoods, improved the resilience, sustainability, and affordability of water service delivery in Fiji’s maritime islands by integrating solar with diesel generator-powered electric pumping systems.
The project is designed and structured to deliver the following key intermediate outcomes:
• Intermediate Outcome 1: Design, supply, installation and commissioning of solar powered water supply systems in 7 maritime island communities in Lakeba, Rotuma and Vanua Balavu.
• Intermediate Outcome 2: Institutional and community capacity building, training, governance and O&M are enhanced.
• Intermediate Outcome 3: More women, persons with a disability and vulnerable groups influence, participate in and benefit from equal access to solar powered water supply systems.

Locations

Fiji

Fiji is an upper-middle-income Pacific island country whose economy is driven by tourism, agriculture and remittances. As a small island developing state (SIDS), it faces acute exposure to climate change, natural disasters and external shocks. In recent years, Fiji has prioritised resilient infrastructure, renewable energy expansion and fiscal consolidation to strengthen macroeconomic stability following pandemic-related disruptions. Development partners, including multilateral development banks, support investments in transport, water systems and climate adaptation. Continued reforms to public financial management, private sector development and disaster-risk governance remain central to sustaining inclusive growth and reducing vulnerability to climate-related risks.
