A ‘China-Aid Wind Power’ project is set to begin in April this year.

The Embassy of China stated that the project will have an installed capacity of 2.25MW and is designed to install three units with each capacity of 750kW.

“The project is expected to generate 3.61 GW·h of on-grid electricity annually.”

The project is expected to be complete in October.

The Embassy stated that the project will help Tonga to reach the short-term goal of 50% renewable energy of its gross power generation.

It will also help to lessen Tonga's power shortage and help Tonga to fight against climate change.
