U.S. battery company Lyten has supplied a battery energy storage system to the village of Yasawa i Rara on Fiji’s Yasawa Island. According to Lyten, the system was energized on October 28. It was purchased by Fijian company Energy Solutions Pacific in cooperation with Investment Fiji. Lyten announced the project on November 5.
Storage Reduces Generator Operation
The village has no grid connection and previously relied on diesel generators and some solar power. Solar panels and generators now charge the battery, and the village draws its power from storage. According to Lyten, the generators therefore run mainly to recharge the batteries. The system is said to supply up to 64 households, a cold storage facility for fish, a maternity unit and a mortuary.
The installation uses Lyten’s Voltpack Mobile System, which the company says scales from 290 kWh to hundreds of megawatt-hours. Lyten has not disclosed the capacity installed in Fiji, the cell chemistry or the cell supplier.
Built at Former Northvolt Site in Poland
The system is built in Gdańsk, Poland. Lyten acquired the energy storage plant there from Northvolt in July 2025. According to Lyten at the time, the site can ramp up to 6 GWh of storage manufacturing capacity. The company, which focuses on lithium-sulfur batteries, also plans storage systems based on that chemistry. In August 2026, Lyten was selected as preferred bidder for the business of Norwegian cell maker Morrow Batteries.
