AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Energy Security: Tonga Power Limited apologised to Tongatapu electricity users after a major generator failure triggered rotational outages; repairs are expected to take about two weeks and two new generator units are being installed, as Tonga pushes its shift from diesel toward renewables and grid upgrades. Climate & Food Systems: Tonga Meteorological Service expanded drought declarations across Ha’apai, Tongatapu and ‘Eua, with Niuatoputapu and Vava’u/ Niuafo’ou on escalating alerts, warning prolonged dry conditions could cut water supplies, strain agriculture and livestock, raise food prices, and worsen health and hygiene risks. Cost of Living: Tonga’s inflation hit 9.3% in July, driven by big jumps in transport and housing/utilities, with restaurants and hotels also climbing—adding pressure to household budgets and business costs. Fuel & Trade Links: Fiji and Tonga are exploring alternative fuel supply partnerships, including discussions involving PETRONAS and other regional partners, aiming to reduce vulnerability to global supply shocks. Governance & Skills: Tonga’s Parliament Building Project is underway at Mataki’eua, with expected completion in early 2028; the site has produced Lapita pottery fragments and human remains, and the project is creating apprenticeship and training opportunities for TNU students and trainees. UN Leadership: Tonga-backed Ecuadorian diplomat Ivonne A-Baki entered the next phase of the UN secretary-general race as Security Council straw polls continue.
