Yesterday’s gift of solar panels to the Saranga Community Learning Centre in North West Guadalcanal by the Australian High Commissioner, apart from a being a very welcome gift and energy source, highlights the value of renewable energy for isolated, rural communities.
It will be to the continuing advantage of the Democratic for Change (DCC) Government to reduce the import of fossil fuels given the high cost of importing such supplies and to concentrate, as far as practical, on low-carbon energy strategies.
