Abstract
Fiji produces about 40–70% of its grid electricity from renewable resources. In 2015, 934 GWh of electricity was
generated with an associated GHG emission of 397 Gg CO2-e. Fiji is committed to reducing its GHG emissions
and increasing renewable energy (RE) share in electricity generation. In this work, various scenarios are developed
using Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) tool with the aim of reducing emissions
and increasing RE share in electricity production for the period 2015–2040. The analysis reveals 100% RE share
in generation is possible at investment costs ranging from USD1.6–3.2 billion.
