| Project Detail |
The development objective of Electricity Access and Renewable Energy Expansion Project is to increase access to grid-supplied electricity and increase renewable energy generation in Solomon Islands. This project has four components. 1) The first component, Renewable Energy Hybrid Mini-grids, would finance supply, installation, and initial maintenance of new hybrid mini-grids throughout Solomon Islands. 2) The second component, Electricity Connections in Low-income Areas, would finance electricity connections to households, micro enterprises (such as small canteens), and community infrastructure (e.g., schools and hospitals) in low-income areas, through an output based aid (OBA) mechanism, building on the Electricity Access Expansion Project (EAEP). 3) The third component, Grid-connected Solar Power, would finance the supply, installation, and initial maintenance for one or more grid-connected solar facilities in Solomon Islands. 4) The fourth component, Enabling Environment and Project Management, consists of two subcomponents. Subcomponent 4.1 would finance specific areas of project management and implementation, including gender related activities, as well as technical assistance and training activities for SP. Subcomponent 4.2 would finance equipment, technical assistance and training activities to be carried out by SP for the benefit of Ministry of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification (MMERE).
