Description
The Nadarivatu hydroelectric facility is a power station with turbines that generate electricity from the Sigatoka River. The installation uses the natural elevation drop of the area to produce energy efficiently.
History
The idea for the project emerged in 1977, but construction did not begin until decades later in 2009 and was completed in 2012. This development marked an important step in modernizing Fiji's energy infrastructure.
Culture
The power station plays an important role in Fiji's energy supply and shows the country's commitment to renewable energy. Visitors can see how modern infrastructure has been integrated into the natural landscape.
Practical
Access to the facility requires preparation, as it is located in a remote mountainous area and the paths are sometimes challenging. It is wise to check local conditions before visiting the installation.
