It is the first ADB project in Kiribati's energy sector. STREP aims to strengthen Kiribati's renewable energy capacity through the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, a battery energy storage system (BESS), and institutional capacity building initiatives. . Kiribati, a nation of 33 coral atolls in the Pacific, faces unique energy challenges due to its geographic isolation and reliance on imported fossil fuels. Access is largely for lighting, and that lighting is often insufficient, inefficient, and expensive.
