Fiji has made commitments to reach near 100% renewable energy electricity under its Green Growth Framework (2014). In support of this goal, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is assisting the local government with feasibility studies for transitioning the islands of Ovalau and Taveuni to 100% renewable energy generation.
