The project involves installation of solar-diesel hybrid systems with battery (energy) storage at Solomon Power's provincial power stations to reduce reliance on diesel usage.
The project was completed by MAN diesel for over SBD120m. The new station has been commissioned and is currently in operation. Furthermore to improve the reliability Solomon Power invested in a new 11 kV switchboard, two 1.6 MW diesel generators and two new power transformers at Honiara Power Station.
Roof top solar – 220kilowatts at Solomon Power office. This will be commissioned toward end of November end this year. Planned Projects: Plans to acquire land with SDA mission on their land close to SP Lungga Station.
With a capital expansion programme of over SBD1 billion, Solomon Power strives to develop and implement its planned capital and infrastructure projects over the next five years that will support its mission to provide a safe, reliable and affordable supply of electricity to the Solomon Islands.
Subproject 1b will install an approximate 4 MW / 4 MWh of storage capacity at the Honiara Power Station, adjacent to an existing 11kV switchboard where electrical integration will occur. Another 5 MW / 20 MWh BESS will be installed with grid-forming battery inverters at the Honiara East substation.
SP, ADB and Entura are working together to prepare a solar energy investment program that is consistent with the Renewable Energy Road Map and SP Renewable Energy Development Program. To increase its renewable solar energy component, SP plans to build additional solar farms.
Following the 2013 feasibility study investigating the development of a 1MW grid-connected solar power station, UAE and NZ government cofounded the development of a 1MW solar farm project at Fighter 1, Henderson. The plant will save SP approximately US$880k per annum in diesel cost and help reduce the cost of electricity.

The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is planned to be developed in the central west New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The project will comprise a grid-scale BESS with a total discharge capacity of around 400MW. AMPYR Australia, a renewable energy assets developer in the country, owns 100% of the BESS project.
The Wellington BESS project will be developed in two stages. The first stage will have a capacity of 300 MW / 600 MWh, while an additional 100 MW / 400 MWh capacity to be added in the second phase.
Construction of Stage 1 (300MW / 2 hours) will start mid-2025, finishing early 2027. Plans for construction of Stage 2 are ongoing, but construction is likely to follow 12 to 18 months behind Stage 1. The existing Wellington substation is very strategically located within the NSW energy grid.
“Supported by our high-calibre partners, ZEN Energy and Fluence, the Wellington Stage 1 BESS will play a critical role in an increasingly renewable grid whilst boosting Australia's energy storage capacity and supporting the delivery of low-cost energy to major users.”
This will make Wellington BESS one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. Wellington is being constructed at 6773 and 6909 Goolma Road, Wuuluman NSW 2820. The project site is situated within the Central-West Orana Renewable energy Zone (CWO REZ), in the Dubbo Regional Council local government area (LGA).
