Blessed with a good geographical location and a wealth of natural resources, Papua New Guinea (PNG) has immense potential to tap on the full range of renewable energy (RE) options to promote low carbon energy development in the economy.
The project will support the GoPNG in achieving its energy access target through investments in on-grid electrification, sustainable renewable energy mini-grids, private sector-led off-grid market promotion, and
The choice before us is clear: either we transform our approach to global climate action, or we watch as more nations follow Papua New Guinea''s lead, potentially continuing to increase fossil fuels use, and allowing power plays disguised as climate action to dominate and derail global efforts.
Papua New Guinea: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen
The project will support the GoPNG in achieving its energy access target through investments in on-grid electrification, sustainable renewable energy mini-grids, private sector-led off-grid market promotion, and institutional development.
Key benefits Papua New Guinea will see from the wider program include increased access, with more than 194,000 people gaining access to clean, reliable electricity through grid densification and expansion.
The Government of Papua New Guinea has set a target of connecting 70% of Papua New Guinea''s population to renewable electricity by 2030. By 2050, the Government hopes to have reached universal electricity access throughout the country.

Today, Administrator Samantha Power announced that USAID will provide an additional $1.2 million to establish a solar mini-grid system in Papua New Guinea''s Central province, in partnership with clean energy company WEnergy Global.
With only approx. 15 per cent of the population having access to reliable electricity and more than 70 per cent of people living in rural areas, the majority of Papua New Guineans have limited or no access to energy.
When one energy source turned off, the others would continue to produce power and ensure continued electricity supply. The lecturer asserted that such grids were key to expanding electricity access in Papua New Guinea, where only 20% of the population currently enjoys regular access to electricity.
“This project represents a major step forward for Papua New Guinea’s energy future. It will not only expand access to reliable electricity but will also contribute to the country’s climate goals by scaling-up renewable energy,” said World Bank Group Country Manager for Papua New Guinea, Khwima Nthara.
Solar panel used in Osima Village, West Sepik Province, to charge mobile phones and lighting. Participants will now become solar energy experts in their communities to improve on this type of basic system. “UNDP is committed to supporting the Government in increasing access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy throughout Papua New Guinea.
by adminNEA | Sep 28, 2023 | Uncategorized Papua New Guinea National Energy Access Transformation Project The Papua New Guinea National Energy Access Transformation Project (NEAT or the ‘Project’) will be financed by the World Bank and implemented by the National Energy Authority (NEA) and PNG Power Limited (PPL).
The Government of Papua New Guinea has set a target of connecting 70% of Papua New Guinea’s population to renewable electricity by 2030. By 2050, the Government hopes to have reached universal electricity access throughout the country. UNDP hopes to contribute to this aim through its various initiatives in the country.
Without enhancing access to clean energy, we cannot succeed in our efforts to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and enhance environmental sustainability in Papua New Guinea,” stated UNDP Resident Representative, Mr. Nicholas Booth, after the training.
