Energy transition: New Caledonia shares its successes with Papua New Guinea

Whilst Papua New Guinea has set itself the target of achieving 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050, a delegation has come to study New Caledonia’s achievements first-hand.
From the energy self-sufficiency of the Isle of Pines — where nearly 70 per cent of energy needs are met by solar power and battery storage — to large-scale installations such as the 10 MW power station, this mission illustrates the importance of sharing experience and transferring technical expertise. It is a concrete example of regional cooperation aimed at building resilient and sustainable energy models.
