The Korean International Cooperation Agency is funding the soon to start installation of the 1.55 Megawatt Solar Grid Connect in Taveuni.
This project when completed will help provide reliable and sustainable power supply to the whole of Taveuni.
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Jone Usamate says the Korean International Cooperation Agency is committing FJ$6m on this project with $1.9m already included in the 2019/2020 Budget.
Usamate says the construction is expected to commence in early 2020 and will take at least two years to complete.
He says the development of the project would supplement the existing 700kW hydro project in Somosomo and provide reliable and sustainable power supply to the whole of Taveuni.
