Port Moresby New Energy Storage: Powering a Sustainable Future
From stabilizing microgrids to enabling solar adoption, Port Moresby new energy storage solutions are transforming how the city consumes power. As battery costs continue dropping 8%
The United States has awarded a $400 million contract, equivalent to 1.6 billion Kina, for the construction of a large fuel storage facility near Port Moresby Harbor in Papua New Guinea. This initiative, managed by the Department of Defense, will provide storage for over 1.6 million barrels of fuel.
The Port Moresby Power Station will provide reliable power to Port Moresby and is the lowest cost dedicated grid connected thermal generation in the country. Replacing heavy fuel oil and diesel, the gas-fired power plant also brings a material reduction in the environmental impact from power generation in PNG.
US Ambassador Ann Marie Yastishock announced that the investment was initiated in response to a formal request from the PNG Government. She highlighted that the facility would not only meet the country's fuel storage demands but also enhance the diversity of fuel options available in the market.
