The Kokoda Track Foundation (KTF), with support from the Australian Government’s Pawarim Komuniti Partnerships program, is delivering a transformative solar energy project in Madang Province’s Rai Coast District for the first time. This ambitious initiative marks one of the largest solar roll- outs the district has ever seen, with over 12,100 household systems, 22 community facility systems, and 777 streetlights being installed across 157 remote villages. The project is set to illuminate the lives of more than 60,500 people in some of Papua New Guinea's most underserved communities. The large-scale solar initiative, funded by the Australian Government under the Pawarim Komuniti Partnerships program, spans three provinces: Morobe, Madang, and New Ireland provinces. It is designed to bring reliable, sustainable energy to remote regions, impacting over 155,000 people in 280 villages. In total, the program will deliver over 31,100 household systems, community facility systems, and streetlights, revolutionizing access to clean energy in these rural areas. With KTF's groundbreaking work in Madang, this project is a significant step toward enhancing the quality of life in remote communities by providing access to solar energy. It underscores a shared commitment to empowering rural populations and fostering sustainable development in Papua New Guinea.
