Power Sector Transition in Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea (PNG) has one of the lowest electrification rates in the Pacific with only 13% of the population having access to reliable electricity, and the country has one of the lowest per capita electricity consumption rates in the world.[1] By 2030, the national government aims to increase electricity access to 70% of households by 2030, which would require adding about
Electricity Access Challenges and Opportunities in Papua
54.4% in 2017 mostly due to consideration of solar pico-lighting kits (<11W) (IEA/IRENA/UNSD/WB/WHO, 2019). The data on pico solar deployment is primarily collected from import data of solar equipment (IRENA, 2018).Nonetheless the access rate is much lower than the world average access rate of 89% stated in the same report. 3.3 Governance Structure
