Intermittent electricity supply disruptions identified as a major concern

The National Economic Summit has recognized the intermittent electricity supply disruptions in urban centres as a major concern to the business community and households.

In one of its resolutions, the Summit has called on government to address this national issue with urgency, and to investigate potential public private partnerships, renewable and climate resilient energy sources.

It has also recommended incentives such as tariffs and the efficient facilitation of land accessibility by the iTaukei Land Trust Board and Ministry of Lands to support renewable energy generation under profit sharing contractual agreements.

They have recognized the energy sector as a key driver to achieve Fiji’s economic transformation agenda.
