WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

TREP is supporting gender equity where it empowers and successfully includes women in the renewable energy workforce. It not only employs women in the non-technical side of the project but it brings in women to conduct the technical works on-site.  

Women with electrical skills have recruited by subcontractors to conduct electrical works during the installations of the battery storages at Popua Power Station and in Villa in Tongatapu. PMU is working closely with the Principal Contractor to the Ha’apai Outer Islands and Niuafo’ou to include women during the construction stage.
