Power to the people (PTTP) project
PNG is the Pacific’s largest country with one of the world’s lowest electricity access rates (13%). Naturally, the PNG government wants to raise that level. GE Consulting Services is an integral part of that effort to elevate the nation’s access to electricity by 2030.
GE Vernova’s Consulting Services evaluated several off-grid distributed power technologies applicable to PNG, including solar, micro hydro, gas engines with integrated liquified natural gas (LNG) infrastructure, and Diesel engines. Micro grid solutions in village centers are another possible solution.
