Lyten announced on November 5, 2026, that it has installed its Voltpack Mobile System battery energy storage system on Yasawa Island in Fiji, providing electricity to the remote village of Yasawa i Rara. Energy Solutions Pacific Ltd. purchased and brought the system to Fiji in collaboration with Investment Fiji. The installation was energized on October 28.
The deployment is intended to improve electricity reliability for up to 64 households, a cold storage facility used to preserve fish, and community services including a maternity unit and mortuary. The village is not connected to Fiji’s national grid and previously relied on diesel generators, supplemented in some locations by solar panels.
Under the new arrangement, solar panels and diesel generators charge the battery system, while the village draws electricity from stored energy. The generators operate when the batteries need additional charging. Lyten said this configuration provides steady power during the day and at night while reducing diesel consumption and increasing the use of available solar generation.
The Voltpack Mobile System is a stand-alone, modular, plug-and-play storage platform scalable from 290 kWh to hundreds of megawatt-hours. Lyten said the units can be moved by forklift and installed in one day without major construction or systems integration. Their weatherproof enclosures are designed for humid, salt-air environments. The systems are manufactured at Lyten’s energy storage facility in Gdańsk, Poland, using predominantly European supply chains.
The company said more than 3.7 million people, concentrated in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands, lack reliable access to electricity. Lyten and Energy Solutions Pacific said they are ready to deploy the storage system more widely across Pacific islands. The installation also supports Fiji’s stated target of generating 90% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2035.
