🌍✨ Tonga at the BPA Fellowship – Hawaii 2026 ✨🌍

Last week, Tonga proudly joined the Blue Planet Alliance Fellowship Cohort VI in Honolulu, Hawaii, alongside other island nations committed to achieving 100% renewable energy.

Representing Tonga were:
Feauini Laumanu – Director for Energy, Department of Energy, MEIDECC
Col. (Ret’d) Siamelie Latu – CEO, Tonga Electricity Commission
Nikolasi Fonua – Chief Technical Officer, Tonga Power Limited
Tonu Siamomua - Education Coordinator from PCRIC

The Fellowship provided a platform to share experiences, learn from Hawaii’s renewable energy journey, and strengthen Tonga’s roadmap under the Tonga Energy Roadmap (TERM+), NDC 3.0, and JNAP II.

💡 This milestone reinforces Tonga’s commitment to a sustainable, resilient energy future for our people and generations to come.

The Director for Energy together with the CEO of MEIDECC are attending the 6th Pacific Regional Energy and Transport Ministers Meeting (PRETMM) in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.

This official meeting follows the Ministers’ program and brings together Pacific leaders to discuss renewable energy transition, maritime safety, aviation connectivity, and regional cooperation under the theme “Scaling Connectivity for a Prosperous Blue Pacific.”

Tonga’s delegation is actively contributing to shaping regional priorities, strengthening transport safety, and advancing our national energy transition goals.

🇹🇴🌏 Tonga is represented at the Pacific Energy Investment Forum in Papua New Guinea by Director Feauini Laumanu and Energy Specialist Sosefo Tofu from the PCREEE Office.

The Forum is being held ahead of the 6th Pacific Regional Energy and Transport Ministers Meeting (PRETMM) under the theme “Scaling Connectivity for a Prosperous Blue Pacific.” It brings together Pacific Island Countries and Territories, partners, and investors to strengthen energy security across the region by connecting national priorities with funding and partnership opportunities. ⚡🤝

The CEO and the Prime Minister will join later for the upcoming Ministerial Meeting.

This week focused on departmental mission activities, concluding with a consultation meeting with fuel service station owners and managers to prepare and strengthen coordination for future fuel crisis situations, based on the current fuel supply challenges.

The consultation was facilitated by the Acting CEO of MTED, the Director for Energy, a Police Inspector, and Lano Fonua from GGGI, who guided discussions on preparedness and response strategies, including how fuel service stations can safely and securely serve the public at fuel bowsers during high-demand periods.
