The project will also support the institutional strengthening of Nauru Utilities Corporation (NUC). Project preparatory technical assistance was used to carry out project-enabling activities such as a Solar Power Expansion Plan for Nauru, project feasibility study, detailed design, and plant procurement contract bidding documents.
The electrical network comprises 11kV, 3.3KV and LV overhead lines. Asian Development Bank (ADB) provided Government of Nauru (GoN) a transactional technical assistance TRTA to prepare a Nauru power expansion plan. The plan identified that a PV array and battery energy storage system should be constructed.
In particular, Nauru Utilities Corporation has a well-functioning procurement unit. They have participated in ADB funded Tenders for Power Generation Units, and regularly invite goods and works bids through Tenderlink.
The NUC will submit proof of records or evidence to ADB that these corrective actions are complied with prior to project approval. Other key stakeholders from government and private sector have been consulted and landowners will continue to be consulted during implementation. 64. Nauru does not have indigenous peoples, as defined under the SPS.
For island nations like Nauru, advanced energy storage batteries do more than keep lights on – they maintain vital communication links, support economic development, and enhance disaster resilience.
