South Tarawa Renewable Energy Project (Phase 2)
It will do this by installing the innovative, climate-adapted and efficient floating PV (FPV) for power generation and for services and benefits beyond electricity.

The increased financing enabled the increase in the scope and size of the solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) capacities compared with the IP figures.
South Tarawa Solar-Storage Powerhouse. In April 2024, construction began on the nation''s largest renewable energy initiative. This Asian Development Bank-funded project features:
The FPV system will include nature-based protection measures through artificial reefs and wave breakers. The project includes a significant upgrade of the overall system on Tarawa,
While grid-connected solar power is the least-cost renewable energy option for South Tarawa and there is significant resource potential of 554 MW, deployment has been limited..
At its core, the project combines lithium-ion batteries with solar arrays – but calling it a "solar-plus-storage system" is like describing a Tesla as a golf cart with better upholstery.
