Sector context. Grid-connected electricity in Kiribati’s capital, South Tarawa, is generated 4. and distributed by the Public Utilities Board (PUB), a state-owned electricity and water utility.
Kiribati’s outer islands are served largely with solar home systems, and Kiritimati island, the second largest load center (1.65 GWh in 2016), has a separate power system not managed by the PUB. 6. Constrained renewable energy development and lack of private sector participation.
Of the 7,877 households in South Tarawa (44% of total households in Kiribati), 72.4% are connected to grid electricity. Access is largely for lighting, and that lighting is often insufficient, inefficient, and expensive. The high electricity cost has suppressed demand and has hindered growth in the commercial and tourism sectors.
Primary energy demand. Kiribati’s energy consumption, which is dominated by imported fossil fuels (52%) and coconut oil (42%), has been steadily increasing over the last few years. The residential sector is the largest consumer of energy, followed by land transport.
The PUB serves more than 57,000 people in South Tarawa, which has the highest demand at 24.7 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2019. Kiribati’s outer islands are served largely with solar home systems, and Kiritimati island, the second largest load center (1.65 GWh in 2016), has a separate power system not managed by the PUB. 6.
13 Kiribati committed to use renewable energy to reduce fossil fuel consumption by 2025 (23% reduction on South Tarawa, 40% on Kiritimati, and 40% on the outer islands). It has also set the target of using energy efficiency to further reduce diesel consumption by 2025 (22% on South Tarawa, 20% on Kiritimati, and 20% on the outer islands).

developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided
