Cabinet has approved the formation of the Energy Investment Advisory Committee and the review of the Electricity Act 2017, signalling a significant move in Fiji’s journey toward renewable energy transition.

The Energy Investment Advisory Committee will act as a collaborative platform linking Independent Power Producers, the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission, and Energy Fiji Limited to streamline project approvals, resolve investment barriers, and accelerate the rollout of renewable energy initiatives.

Cabinet says the Committee will also guide the alignment of policy and regulatory frameworks to improve coordination and ensure faster implementation of Fiji’s clean energy targets.

They says the Department of Energy will serve as the Secretariat for the Energy Investment Advisory Committee.
