TotalEnergies Fiji inaugurated its Vunato service station in Lautoka, powered by solar energy.

It is equipped with 48 photovoltaic panels of 415 watts, the station can generate 29 megawatt hours of power per year, contributing to 15 tons of carbon-dioxide reduction per year.

TotalEnergies Fiji says residents of Lautoka and commuters on the Kings Road between Lautoka and Ba will enjoy diverse services and offers at the station featuring TotalEnergies’ customer centric retail concept.

The station was launched by French Ambassador to Fiji François-Xavier Léger and Vice President Oceania and Southeast Asia, TotalEnergies Marketing and Services Aimeric Ramadier, in the presence of government officials, partners, and customers.

Ambassador Léger comments TotalEnergies’ investments in Fiji highlighted growth prospects in the country.

He congratulated the company for its expansion in Fiji’s service station network, with the inauguration of the Vunato station.

Ramadier says the new station will contribute to TotalEnergies' global efforts to solarize their service stations, in line with our sustainability ambition.

He says they also look forward to meeting the country’s energy needs by providing a reliable supply of high-quality fuels, coupled with positive customer experience.

Since 2018, TotalEnergies in Fiji has equipped 18 of its company-owned service stations with solar panels.

A total of 22 TotalEnergies stations in Fiji will be solarized by the end of next year, which will lead to 5,000 tons of carbon-dioxide reduction over an average 25 year operational period.
