Enabling prosperity across the Pacific

One year on, the REnew Pacific program is making a tangible difference across the region

Celebrating one year of REnew Pacific

One year ago, Australia’s Minister for Climate Change, the Hon Chris Bowen, announced REnew Pacific at COP29: a $75 million Australian Government investment over five years that is designed to expand clean, reliable energy access for remote off-grid communities across the Pacific and Timor-Leste.

REnew Pacific takes centre stage at the COP30 Australian Pavilion

Pacific-led clean energy solutions lit up the COP30 Australian Pavilion as the REnew Pacific delegation took to the stage in Belém. A standing-room-only crowd gathered to hear how Pacific communities are leading the charge on climate resilience through off-grid renewable energy, with support from the Australian Government through REnew Pacific.

The project will help close the education gap for thousands of students across mainland Viti Levu and outer islands
