by adminNEA | Sep 28, 2023 | Uncategorized Papua New Guinea National Energy Access Transformation Project The Papua New Guinea National Energy Access Transformation Project (NEAT or the ‘Project’) will be financed by the World Bank and implemented by the National Energy Authority (NEA) and PNG Power Limited (PPL).
The project will bring electricity to rural households; expand renewable energy generation; support the modernization of the country’s electricity infrastructure; and benefit households, businesses, and communities across the nation. “This project represents a major step forward for Papua New Guinea’s energy future.
The Government of Papua New Guinea also aims to increase electricity access to 70% of the population by 2030, a goal which will require connections of 100,000 households per year.
Providing reliable power is crucial for expanding PPL’s on-grid customer base. The Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) has set a goal of achieving 70 percent national electrification by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050 and adopted the National Electrification Roll-Out Plan (NEROP) in 2019.
Investments are also needed to achieve the goal, announced by the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) in 2018 at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Port Moresby, of reaching a 70% electrification rate by 2030.
Most new power sector investment in PNG over the next 10 years is expected to be organized around projects identified in the LCPDP (generation and transmission investments on the POM and Ramu grids) and the NEROP (electrification nationwide). In addition, there is a need for generation and transmission investment in the other grids.
Power Sector Transition in Papua New Guinea
Upgrading and updating Papua New Guinea''s power sector in line with the government''s 70% electrification by 2030 target will require an investment of $1.7 billion. There is a funding gap of approximately 400 million Kina needed to complete all proposed projects in the pipeline.
