TTA supports the Marshalls Energy Company (MEC) in the decarbonization of its power generation assets.
This work takes place in Majuro, Ebeye, and the outer islands. It is part of the World Bank–funded REGAIN project.
The objective is clear. Reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Improve system reliability. Strengthen long-term energy planning.
Over the past months, our team has carried out several site visits.
These visits helped assess local conditions, infrastructure constraints, and operational realities.
They also supported direct engagement with local stakeholders and project partners.
TTA is currently delivering a comprehensive techno-economic assessment.
This assessment focuses on integrating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into MEC’s power systems.
Our work includes:
- Identification of suitable solar PV sites across the islands
- Technical analysis of existing generation assets and grid infrastructure
- Evaluation of system performance under different renewable energy scenarios
- Ongoing stakeholder engagement to ensure alignment and knowledge transfer
In parallel, we assess environmental and social (E&S) aspects.
This step is essential. It supports smooth implementation and reduces project risks.
It also ensures alignment with local communities, cultural context, and regulatory frameworks.
The integration of distributed renewable energy systems is a key component of this project.
These systems can improve flexibility, reduce fuel dependency, and enhance resilience to external shocks.
Through this assignment, TTA contributes to:
- Increased energy security
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Improved system resilience
This work supports the Republic of the Marshall Islands, one of the countries most exposed to climate change impacts.
It also reinforces the role of tailored energy solutions in small island contexts.
