The Australian Government's new $75 million REnew Pacific program is now open for grant proposals for locally-led projects that will provide off-grid renewable energy solutions for rural and remote communities across the Pacific and Timor-Leste.
The five-year program seeks proposals from businesses, NGOs, community organisations, academic institutions and government agencies that will improve essential services, including lighting, water access, agriculture, healthcare, food security, education, and communication for off-grid Pacific communities.
REnew Pacific is part of AIFFP’s Pacific Climate Infrastructure Financing Partnership (PCIFP), a $350 million initiative focused on climate infrastructure that supports the region to transition away from fossil fuels, enhance energy security and drive climate-resilient development. The program builds on the successful PCIFP Off-Grid Renewable Energy Partnership pilots that were launched in 2024 across Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Timor Leste and Vanuatu.
Do you have a great idea for delivering off-grid renewable energy to rural and remote communities across the Pacific and Timor-Leste?
