PNG Power Pilot Rooftop Solar Program

Project Info:

PNG Power Rooftop Solar Project by PNG Power and IFC

Project Details

IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, and PNG Power Limited have begun consultations with business on expanding renewable energy sources in Papua New Guinea with a proposal for a pilot rooftop solar program in the capital, Port Moresby.

The move follows a request by PNG Power for IFC to build on its successful off-grid solar program, Lighting PNG, to help the power company’s business customers access a pilot program. The aim is to initially allow about two percent of peak demand for electricity in Port Moresby to be generated from rooftop solar.
