TotalEnergies and Lion One Sign MOU to Develop Solar Energy Solution in Fiji

Nadi, April 01, 2023 – TotalEnergies Marketing (Fiji) Pte Ltd and Lion One Metals Limited are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for TotalEnergies to assess the feasibility of developing solar energy solution for Lion One’s Tuvatu Gold Mine.

As part of the agreement, TotalEnergies will propose a solution to install, operate and maintain a photovoltaic Diesel Genset Hybrid System and a transmission line to meet the mine’s energy needs from a site located 3.5km away.

In its study, TotalEnergies will also adopt best practices which are environmentally friendly and socially responsible.
