Our Story

Independent Energy was born from a vision to change the way energy works in the Pacific. Too many communities rely on expensive fuel, fragile infrastructure, or inconsistent power delivery. We saw an opportunity to bring energy independence to the islands—starting with reliable solar solutions and growing into full-service, hybrid energy systems.
