Fiji Islands
Our team has a long and successful tenure in the Fijian power industry, including the management of the expansion, upgrade, and ongoing operations of the two largest power plants in Fiji. Pernix currently operates and maintains the power plants with 108 MW of base load generation capacity under long-term contracts running through 2028.
Pernix has a 25-year contract with the Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA) to operate and maintain diesel-fired power generation plants located in Suva and Vuda, Fiji and to sell electrical energy produced, on a wholesale level, at a contractually determined rate, without risk of fuel price fluctuation. The contract for this project expires in 2028.
In 1999, FEA awarded Pernix the contract to expand the Kinoya Power Plant to 12 MW. The power plant, situated near Suva, the capital of Fiji, is part of the FEA grid and is the largest diesel-based power plant in Fiji. Due to high energy demand, low installed capacity and rolling power outages, FEA modified the contract to move the 12 MW machines to Vuda Power Plant, which is the second largest diesel-based power plant in Fiji, and to add 20 MW machines to the Kinoya Power Plant.
