The Port Moresby Energy Storage Project Powering Papua New
Located in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, the groundbreaking Port Moresby Energy Storage Project represents a critical step in modernizing the nation"s power infrastructure.
By addressing the structural weaknesses currently inhibiting solar uptake with a focus on regulation, finance, and technical capacity the model offers a practical framework for accelerating decentralized energy access in PNG. Decentralized solar energy presents a viable path for Papua New Guinea's electrification expansion.

TAG Energy has installed solar systems in most of Papua New Guinea's provinces and districts, specifically the Southern Highlands Province, Western Highlands Province, Central Province, East New Britain, Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Samarai Murua District, Popondetta, and the National Capital District.
While the PNG government aims for 70% electrification by 2030 (World Bank, 2024b), extending the central grid to remote regions is prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging.2 Decentralized solar power offers a promising solution.
If communities are involved in planning and understand how to use and maintain systems, they are more likely to embrace the technology (Lighting Global, 2020). Community Dynamics and Equity: PNG's strong communal traditions mean that development projects must navigate local power structures and ensure benefits are evenly distributed.
