Renewable Energy in Brunei Darussalam
·Renewable
energy accounts for just 0.14% of Brunei Darussalam’s total electricity
generation mix, which comes from a 1.2 MW solar PV demonstration power plant, Tenaga
Suria Brunei in Seria, Belait District. In view of the country’s significant
solar radiance, solar PV offers the most practical option to meet domestic
demand for electricity in terms of grid parity. However, Brunei Darussalam will
continue to undertake resource assessment and feasibility of solar water
heating, biofuels (diesel, gas, aviation fuels), and ocean (hydroelectricity).
·Target to
increase total share of renewable energy to at least 30% of the total capacity
in the power generation mix using mainly solar photovoltaic (PV) by 2035 with 5
strategic objectives:
