Summary of Renewable Energy Resource Assessments for Fiji Islands.

This report was prepared by Luis A. Vega for Office for the Promotion of Renewable Energy Technologies Fiji Department of Energy. The objective of this report is to summarize renewable-energy data assessments performed prior to the initiation of the GEF project. Unfortunately, no comprehensive information about renewable energy resources was identified as of September 2001. There were the wind and solar data records obtained by DoE as input to the design of the Nabouwalu Wind/PV hybrid power plant. It should also be noted that the Government has an active forestation program, with pine planted in the dry areas of the main islands and mahogany in the wet areas.
