The Edevu Hydro Power project is currently unable to fully supply electricity to Port Moresby and Central Province due to the effects of the ongoing El Niño weather pattern. The reduced capacity poses a potential risk to power availability in the region. Access to detailed information regarding this issue is restricted behind a paywall, requiring a subscription to the Post Courier. The report indicates a direct correlation between the current El Niño conditions and the hydropower plant’s diminished output. Further details about the extent of the capacity drop and potential mitigation strategies are unavailable without a paid subscription. This situation highlights the vulnerability of PNG’s power infrastructure to climate events. The Post Courier originally published this report.
