Fiji and Tonga seek alternative fuel supply partners
Fiji and Tonga are pursuing alternative fuel supply partnerships and renewable energy options, as both countries seek to strengthen their long-term energy security.
Fiji and Tonga are actively seeking alternative fuel supply partners to ensure energy security. Fijian Foreign Affairs and External Trade Minister Sakiasi Ditoka discussed fuel supply and renewable energy options during visits to Malaysia, Korea, and Singapore. He also met with PETRONAS, Malaysia's national oil and gas company, which manages the country's oil and gas resources across the entire energy value chain.
Tonga is conducting a feasibility study with Pacific Energy South West Pacific Limited, funded by the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), to improve fuel supply security. The proposed framework aims to diversify fuel supply, establish strategic reserves, improve supply-chain resilience, and transition towards cleaner energy.
