The Project will support development of renewable energy in the Solomon Islands. The Project will (i) decrease the cost of generating electricity by replacing diesel power generation of battery storage which will allow high penetration rates of intermittent solar power. Levelized cost of solar power (with battery storage) is $0.405/kWh
