Perfomance benchmarking study for Pacific Island power utilities - 20 utilities. The last study of such kind was undertaken a decade ago. The current study adopts same basic indicators in the ealier effort, but additional indicators added to include grid-connected renewable systems, utility energy efficiencies, electricity suppply to grids from independent suppliers and others. Study coordinated by Pacific Power Association.

The North-REP project implemented by SPC and funded by the EU, completed the refurbishment of the Nanpil hydropower plant in FSM. Refurbishment begun in March 2014 and completed in June 2014. A training needs assessment was conducted specifically for the hydropower plant to strengthen the capacity of Pohnpei Utilities Corporation (PUC).

The Pacific Regional Data Repository for Sustainable Energy for All (PRDR SE4ALL) is going to be a one-stop-shop that will support the many partners, one team approach to addressing the energy security challenges of the region,' according to Mr Gerald Zackios, Director of SPC?s North Pacific Regional Office. He was speaking at the opening of the PRDR consultation workshop held in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) last week.

IRENAs multi-faceted work in the region is reflected in Pacific Lighthouses: Renewable Energy Roadmapping for Islands. The main report, intended to provide a framework for further action, is supported by 15 reports on specific islands and a document detailing hybrid
power systems for the Pacific. Together, these reports identify key concepts, challenges and best practices for the accelerated uptake of renewable energy in the

FSM energy security indicator profile taken in 2009. This is the baseline against which progress in achieving energy security in the future years can be bench-marked.

This proposal has been prepared for the consideration of senior officials and Minsters at the SPC-convened Energy and Transport Ministers Meeting being held in Nadi from 31 March to 4 April 2014. It has been developed by ESCAP with the assistance of Dr. Herbert Wade, an independent consultant who undertook missions to Tuvalu (21-25 January 2014), Kiribati (26 January to 2 February 2014), and Vanuatu (4 - 7 February, 2014) 1 to help determine the feasibility of the PRDR through interviews with key stakeholders in those countries.

Feasibility Study of Establishing OTEC : Marshall Islands are keen to develop alternative energy sources. Potential developers are kept informed on the region's potential through contributions to the International OTEC/DOWA Association Newsletter. Assistance was given to Marshall Islands to help them select a contractor to carry out a detailed feasibility study of establishing a OTEC power and fresh water plant on Majuro.
