Replacing heavy fuel oil and diesel, the gas-fired power plant also brings a material reduction in the environmental impact from power generation in PNG.
Project to Provide Resilience to Port Moresby's Energy Grid Power is considered as the major backbone for all nations throughout the world including PNG on the basis of which the development of the country depends. Within this context, Energy has become an essential element in man's efforts to meet basic human needs, as energy generates power.
“ NiuPower is pleased and proud to have developed PNG’s first ever dedicated grid-connected gas fired power station. Our customer, PNG Power Limited, are on record as saying that the NiuPower Port Moresby Power Station coming online will save them, and thus the nation, up to K100 million annually.
The powerhouse has four turbines with a total installed capacity of 50 MW. Once fully operative, the plant will provide electricity to about 40 per cent of homes and help PNG's Nation's Capital, Port Moresby, to meet its growing energy demands.
The company PNG Hydro Development Limited has invested K650 million in the project which is one of Central Province’s biggest assets that will supply electricity not only to Port Moresby but the whole Southern region in the near future.
Infrastructure gaps remain acute, particularly in poorer areas of Port Moresby. 45 per cent of informal settle-ment dwellers in the city lack basic facilities such as electricity, potable water and sanitation (NCD Settle-ment Strategic Plan 2007-2011). This impacts directly on their ability to adapt to natural disasters and other climate hazards.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
