Exploring real outcomes and imagined possibilities
Community Energy Resilience in Fiji — Remote Village Power (Potential Use Case)
Location:Remote villages, Fiji
System Details: 210 kW solar PV with 430 kWh battery storage and Energy Management System; wind-rated to 135 mph
Impact: $115,000 annual savings, 250 tonnes CO₂ abatement, and 95% reduction in diesel use
Providing sustainable and stable power to communities where grid access is limited or unreliable with heavy diesel generator reliance.
A 250-person remote village relies on diesel generators, with fuel costs exceeding $120,000 per year. Frequent supply chain disruptions cause repeated blackouts, while continuous diesel fumes create health concerns for residents. This scenario models how PHNXX's modular off-grid solar and battery system could be deployed here and replicated across more than 20 similar villages across Fiji.

PHNXX Solution:
Deployment of 210 kW solar PV and 430 kWh battery storage, managed by an Energy Management System for optimized energy use
Training provided to local operators to maintain and monitor the system.
System is wind-rated up to 135 mph, suitable for windy island environments.
Cost: $415,000
Funding Support: Up to $200,000 from an NGO, reducing net cost to $215,000
Impact:
Carbon Abatement: 250 tonnes CO2 per year
Annual savings: $115,000 (95% reduction in fuel costs).
Payback period: ~1.7 years (partially funded through NGO energy transition grants).
10-year cost savings: ~$1.35 million.
Improved energy security: No reliance on unstable grids and diesel supply.
