Fiji passed a new Electricity Act, which directs the corporatisation of the electricity utility and the adoption of a more rigorous and transparent method of setting electricity tariffs. Through Asian Development Bank funding, ECA undertook a cost of service study that formed a key input to future tariff determinations. The study helped stakeholders understand the future costs of Energy Fiji Ltd (EFL) providing electricity on each of Fiji’s main islands, the costs of providing generation/transmission/distribution services, and the costs of serving different customer groups.
