Client / Financial Support:The World Bank Group and ASTAE
Duration: 31 minutes

This is a story of self-reliance that has changed the way thousands of people live their everyday lives. It’s a story of people who recognised the huge fossil fuel crisis that’s been engulfing the world for some years. It shows the potential of small scale sustainable renewable energy programs.  Programs and technologies that have been in existence for decades or years. It’s a story of people and communities in the Pacific Islands and elsewhere in the world, who have harnessed nature’s immense, constantly renewable capacity for electricity generation.
