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.
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.
Kiribati is a micro economy in the central Pacific with a huge Pacific Ocean economic zone. Its gross domestic product (GDP) was $200 million in 2019 and, and prior to the pandemic, this was expected to grow at 3.1% annually, driven mainly by fishing license fees and government expenditure.
