Twenty20 Energy will roll out its proprietary power island floating storage regasification and power solution at 12 locations across Papua New Guinea (PNG) on behalf of PAWA PNG.
An end state – indeed an optimistic overall outcome – could be a future where PNG''s 19 mini-grids are operating through IPP arrangements, delivering a reliable and affordable power
The PAWA PNG Power Island Project is a product of Twenty20 Energy''s proprietary Power Island FSRP technology, which consists of fuel barges, power barges and floating piers.
Papua New Guinea''s renewable energy potential is vast and largely untapped. Estimates suggest the country has the capacity to generate over 15 gigawatts (GW) of
The project encompasses the construction of a solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) minigrid to be built on the island of Buka, within the autonomous region of Bougainville in
PPL is a fully integrated power company responsible for generation, transmission, distribution and retailing of electricity throughout Papua New Guinea and servicing individual electricity
The design requires minimal land use and is ultimately mobile to accommodate near-term and future expansion needs. In the future, the Power Island FSRP solution can be
It supports 2.5kWh battery expansion packs and can support up to 6 power packs, reaching 17.5kWH, to provide a stable power supply for various household appliances.

Twenty20 Energy is working with PAWA PNG on a floating power island project that will deliver an integrated liquid natural gas (LNG) logistics and power generation solution to meet Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) energy and electrification objectives now and for the future.

As one former PPL employee noted in PNG’s The National, the nation’s “current power supply woes can be attributed to lack of proper human resources development and supervision.” “Most of the blackouts,” they add, are “a result of lack of this specialised knowledge in power system management.”
Privatisation is clearly the most optimal way forward for PNG’s grossly underperforming power sector. Greater privatisation of PNG’s SOEs would drive pressure from shareholders and other equity providers for improved performance – an observation made by an Australian Agency for International Development author as far back as 1996.
