Vanuatu has 4 power plants in this atlas, with 5 MW of reported capacity (reported for 2 of them). The largest listed plant is Pointe du Diable Wind Farm (4 MW, wind; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are hydro, oil and other. Grid operators listed here include UNELCO. Electricity is regulated by URA.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
Grid operators and electricity market in Vanuatu

What does “Vertically integrated utility” mean?
A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.
