OIREP's on-grid work was always a matter of laying the foundations for further investment in renewables and enjoyed the ease of working through one implementing partner – Tonga Power Limited – who were incentivised to help ensure the program succeeded given they will manage all on-grid assets post-project.
Currently, it appears that ECOS with MEIDECC support will operate and be responsible for OIREP systems commencing 1 January 2024 through until at least 30 June 2025, when Tonga's new electricity concession contract negotiations will have been concluded.
From July 2020 to June 2021, users on the main island of Tongatapu paid on average a 6% subsidy to cover the costs of outer islands, with the result being that Vava'u, Ha'apai and 'Eua received 40%, 40% and 26% subsidies respectively.
As Tonga's most profitable SOE, there is good reason to believe that TPL has the commercial capacity, technical capacity and financial incentive to sustain, maintain and further develop OIREP assets beyond the life of the project given the revenue they can generate.
