Fiji has reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating economic growth and job creation, with the signing of a new World Bank grant and an implementation agreement with Energy Fiji Limited marking a significant step toward strengthening the country’s reform and energy agenda.

Speaking at the signing, Prime Minister and Acting Minister for Finance Hon. Sitiveni Rabuka reaffirmed Fiji’s commitment to its renewable energy program.

World Bank Vice President for the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) Region Carlos Felipe Jaramillo said the agreement will advance the goals set by the Prime Minister for Fiji to achieve 100 percent renewable energy supply within the next few years.

“We fully support the commitment that you have made to these renewable sources of energy, and this is why we are very excited to support the efforts of the Government to do this work and the other work that we do in Fiji,” he said.
