As the world's Environment Ministers meet in Bali to map the way forward for a post-Kyoto agreeement to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emmissions, Fiji is showing just what can be done with sufficient will. The Fiji's Electricity Authority has an ambitious plan to be producing 90-percent of its electricty from renweable resources by 2011. The plan will make a substantial contribution to reducing Fiji's greenhouse gas emissions. In the process it will make savings in diesel fuel costs of 75-million Fiji dollars a year .. or around 55-million Australian dollars. The Electricty Authority's Chief Executive, Rokoseru Nabalarua, told Jemima Garrett the threat of climate change prompted the authority to turn to renewable energy.
