The Government of Tonga confirmed the Renewable Energy Act in 2008 and ADB is part of the journey. Since 2013, ADB has forged a strong partnership with Tonga’s sole state-owned power utility, Tonga Power Limited (TPL), through its support of four energy projects: the Outer Island Renewable Energy Project, Cyclone Ian Recovery Project, Cyclone Gita Recovery Project, and Tonga Renewable Project. A key focus of all these ADB-supported projects is improving the resilience of power infrastructure - to ensure it stands up under the harshest of natural disasters and encouraging women to become more involved in the maintenance of that infrastructure.
