The Government of Kiribati, through the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Energy, attended the “Transitioning to Solar Energy in the Pacific Islands” Conference. It was held from 24–25 March 2026 at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva, Fiji.
The Ministry was represented by Mr. Thomas Tebateki Taoaba, Acting Director of the Energy Planning Division. He attended on behalf of the Ministry and also represented the Kiribati Sustainable Energy Association (KSEA) after being invited by PCREEE.
This was the first regional conference of its kind. It was organised by SEIAPI and supported by many groups, including private companies, investors, regional organisations, and partners from across the Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia.
The conference brought together government officials, businesses, investors, and partners to share ideas and practical ways to increase the use of solar energy in the Pacific.
Main topics discussed included:
- Policies and rules for developing solar energy, such as licensing, pricing, and standards
- Challenges faced by solar companies, including funding, logistics, and working in remote islands
- Encouraging more women to join the solar energy sector through skills and leadership opportunities
- Strengthening cooperation and partnerships across the region
The conference also showed strong involvement from private companies, highlighting new ideas and successful solar projects in the Pacific.
Attending this conference shows Kiribati’s commitment to renewable energy and working together with regional partners.
The Ministry plans to use what was learned to support a cleaner, stronger, and more sustainable energy future for Kiribati.
The Ministry also recognised the participation of the Public Utility Board (PUB), represented by Mr. Tenikoria Katauea, Renewable Energy Manager
