A Power of Good: How ADB's Climate- Resilient Investment is Boosting Tonga's Energy Future

Country

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.
