[pdf] The challenges faced by Fiji’s energy sector are largely due to its geographical environment and small market size. Close to 60 percent of Fiji’s electricity generation is derived from hydropower, while remote areas and outer islands are dependent on imported fossil fuels and biomass. Fiji’s 20-year National Development. .
Incentives are offered to encourage investments in energy generation through renewable energy sources and to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Fiji has untapped renewable energy resources such as hydro, wind, biomass,.
[pdf] In 2019, energy imports cost 5.5% of the national GDP, which could be reduced by increasing renewable energy production. According to IRENA, increasing renewable energy production would also create jobs and increase energy security. .
As of 2021 , there is little in . 7% of primary was from renewables in 2019, mostly . As there is a lot of , more renewables could be integrated into the heat distribution. .
