The resulting Kiribati Integrated Energy Roadmap (KIER) highlights key challenges and presents solutions to make Kiribati''s entire energy sector cleaner and more cost effective. As a small, remote island state, Kiribati is highly dependent on imported energy supply.
Solar energy in Kiribati is used mostly in the form of solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies for the provision of lighting and electricity. This study examines the role of PV technologies in the sustainable development process in Kiribati, with particular reference to remote atoll communities.
Kiribati Green Energy Solution, a State-Owned Enterprise was established on 14 November 1984 under the Company Ordinance Cap 10A. It is a leading Government implementing agency in the energy sector deal with any renewable energy initiatives in Kiribati. Read more
The grid-connected 150 kW solar installation on Kiritimati Island (also known as Christmas Island) covers an area of 2,100 m 2 and will generate 280,000 kWh of clean, green electricity each year, while
With limited natural resources and a population spread across 33 atolls and islands, Kiribati has long been reliant on imported fossil fuels for its energy needs. However, the country is now looking to solar power as a

In this paper, the current energy situation in Kiribati has been considered with emphasis on the utilisation of PV technologies. The choices for energy supply in Kiribati are presently limited to imported petroleum products, biomass and to a very insignificant extent, solar energy and wind power.
With limited natural resources and a population spread across 33 atolls and islands, Kiribati has long been reliant on imported fossil fuels for its energy needs. However, the country is now looking to solar power as a sustainable solution to address its energy challenges and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.
By using clean energy, each installation reduces carbon emissions by up to 60,000 kg of CO2 over its lifetime. Moreover, the community-driven approach creates pathways for broader social and economic development, positioning Kiribati''s women and youth as leaders in climate adaptation.

The findings of this roadmap show that power sector is a key area, where the ongoing efforts from the deployment of solar PV should be continued and complemented with and improvement of efficiency in Kiribati’s entire energy system, including electricity use, heating, cooling, and transport.
The government-owned Public Utility Board supplies diesel generated power in South Tarawa. The Kiribati Solar Energy Company provides electricity to outer islands through solar home systems. Initially formed in 1984 by an NGO, the company is now owned entirely by the government. There is little private sector involvement.

As a small, remote island state, Kiribati is highly dependent on imported energy supply. Electricity is one of the government’s largest expenditures. Yet the current fossil fuel-based power system is inadequate to meet future demand.

In 2020, the reformation and renaming of the Company (commonly known then as Kiribati Solar Energy Company) was conducted with the core objective is to broaden its scope in providing services with renewable energy including solar energy, wave energy, wind energy and other RE technologies that is applicable in Kiribati.
