New Caledonia, a French territory located in the South Pacific, spans a land area of around 18,575 square kilometres with a population of approximately 270,000. The population is mostly concentrated in the capital city, Noumea, leaving many regions underserved in terms of technology and telecommunications. The island's mountainous terrain and isolation pose significant challenges for connectivity and infrastructure development. However, underwater fibre-optic cables connect New Caledonia to Australia and Fiji, improving its internet speed and reliability.

In terms of renewable energy, New Caledonia has significant investment in solar, hydro, and wind energy, which is expected to cover 100% of public demand in the years to come.
