Powering
the Islands
Stop the Fossil Fuel.
Island communities across the Asia Pacific still run on shipped-in diesel: expensive, polluting, and one late barge away from a blackout. Every rooftop, every dollar, every trained installer and every island grid pledged here replaces that fuel with sunlight.

Four ways to power an island
Pick the commitment that fits you. Each one has its own page, its own form and its own count, and every one of them pushes an island a little further from the diesel barge.
The last places still burning fuel for light
Mainland grids are already turning to solar. Islands are not, not because the sun is missing but because the pieces that turn sunlight into reliable power never arrived. Powering the Islands is APVIA’s campaign to bring them, one pledge at a time.
Stop the fossil fuel.
Islands run on shipped-in diesel
Off-grid and island communities burn imported fuel for most of their power. It arrives by barge, costs far more than mainland electricity, and every litre of it is carbon.
One late delivery from the dark
A storm, a price spike or a delayed shipment and the generators stop. Solar on the island, backed by storage and a proper grid, is power that cannot be held up at sea.
The sun is already there
The Asia Pacific's islands have some of the best solar resource on Earth. What they lack is the rooftops, the capital, the trained hands and the grids to use it. That is what a pledge is for.
