REnew Pacific

REnew Pacific is the Australian Government's new $75 million investment in off-grid renewable energy for rural and remote communities across the Pacific and Timor-Leste. The five-year program will deliver locally led, inclusive and sustainable projects that enable lighting, access to water, improved agriculture, better food security, quality education and health services, reliable communications connectivity and enhanced incomes for remote Pacific communities. The program will achieve this by providing grants to develop off-grid renewable energy projects, leveraging co-financing and partnering with non-government organisations, the private sector, investors, community organisations and government agencies. REnew Pacific is part of the Pacific Climate Infrastructure Financing Partnership (PCIFP), a $350million initiative for climate infrastructure in the region. It's delivered by the Australian Government’s Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific and implemented by Palladium.
