Fiji has set ambitious but critical energy goals to achieve 100% renewable electricity generation by 2036 and net-zero emissions by 2050. These goals align with Fiji’s status as a global champion of climate change, aim to provide energy security in the national interest, and are reflected in its national legal framework, which includes the Climate Change Act 2021.
However, for Fiji to move away from reliance on fossil fuels for energy generation and towards energy based on indigenous renewable resources, there must be coordinated and cooperative action in the public and private sectors within a robust legal framework.
To assist with this transition, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has released a pivotal new assessment which our firm was pleased to lead.
The full report, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal structures governing Fiji's energy sector, can be accessed here:IRENA: Fiji Assessment of Legislative and Regulatory Frameworks.
