Enabling prosperity across the Pacific

 Delivering clean, reliable power to remote clinics with support from the Australian Government and REnew Pacific.

New off-grid solar system powering up hospital services in Vanuatu’s remote Torba province

Last week, one of Vanuatu’s first REnew Pacific projects, led by Respond Global, achieved its second major milestone in record speed, installing a new 15kW off-grid solar system at Quatvaes Hospital, Torba.

REnew Pacific is bringing clean, reliable power to remote health clinics starting with Loh Island, thanks to Australian Government support.

From sea to clinic: Vanuatu’s first REnew Pacific projects already delivering impact

One of Vanuatu’s first REnew Pacific projects, led by Respond Global, has already begun installing the first of 20 new solar power systems in off-grid health facilities across the country, less than a month since launching.

Stakeholders at the launch event included local leaders and the community

Sixty households in Vanuatu’s remote Lawital village now have access to solar power, thanks to an AIFFP partnership between the Australian Government, ActionAid Vanuatu, PowerWells and the Women I TokTok Together (WITTT) Network.

REnew Pacific is now accepting grant proposals for locally-led projects that will improve essential services for Pacific communities.
