Fiji Corrections Services Commissioner Dr Jalesi Nakarawa met with Indian High Commission Palaniswamy Karthigeyan today to discuss the introduction of solar energy systems in corrections facilities.
The discussion marked the initial steps towards exploring potential development projects aimed at enhancing sustainability within Fiji’s corrections institutions.
Central to the discussions was the proposal to introduce solar energy systems across Fiji’s corrections facilities – an initiative that aligns with the Fiji Corrections Service’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, promoting energy efficiency, and lowering operational costs.
The solarization project, if realized, would be a significant leap toward integrating renewable energy solutions within the corrections sector, contributing to Fiji’s broader goals of achieving sustainable development and energy independence.
