Kiribati is a Least Developed Country (LDC) SIDS with limited resources that will nonetheless commit to reduce emissions by:
On the understanding that a global agreement addresses international assistance to access financial and technical resources, Kiribati can, with international assistance, contribute a further:
Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2014 is one of the most comprehensive studies yet made on the renewable energy price revolution in the power sector. Its findings are striking. Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in 2014 cost three-quarters less than in 2009, while wind turbine prices declined by almost a third over the same period. The cost of electricity from utility-scale PV systems has fallen by around half since 2010.
This report analyzes in detail the potential contribution to the island tourism sector of four renewable energy technologies (RETs):
This report focuses on the role that national policy makers will play in this transformation process. The main challenge being that there is not a single roadmap or technology that provides the solution. Each country situation is unique, and local solutions need to be found to support the transition towards a renewables-based power system. It is therefore very important that policy makers work together with generators, local system operators and electricity suppliers to collectively design the future.
Third report of the Utilities Regulatory Authority (URA) on electricity bills (electricity tariff) comparisons for the Pacfic countries and territories. Report uses spot currency exchange rates in March 2015,since the trend in rankings is only meaningful by holding exchange rates constant at the last version of the report.
Pacific Region Electricity Bills - Comparison Report 2014 for the electricity sector. Report published by the Vanuatu Utility Regulatory Authority (URA). URA conducted an analysis of bills, electricity tariff for electricity customers across the Pacific. This reports provides the summary of the findings.
Pacific Region Electricity Bills - Comparison Report 2013 for the electricity sector. Report published by the Vanuatu Utility Regulatory Authority (URA). URA conducted an analysis of bills, electricity tariff for electricity customers across the Pacific. This reports provides the summary of the findings.
KEMA, at the request of the Pacific Power Association (PPA), conducted an energy efficiency study titled: “Quantification of Energy Efficiency in the Utilities in South Pacific Utilities” for 10 Southern Pacific Island Utilities.
This report summarizes study results for the Public Utilities Board (PUB) on the island of Tarawa Atoll in the Republic of Kiribati.
This report focuses on identifying the key concepts, challenges and best practises needed to increase renewable energy uptake on Pacific Islands through hybrid RE and diesel powered systems. A model of solar PV integration in the Tongatapu diesel-powered grid is included in the report.
Report highlights the technical description, project proponents and proposal for the PV hybrid mini-grid for Chevalier College in Abemama Atoll in Kiribati. This was a pilot project for duplication at outer island schools and the Pacific region as a whole. Report was funded by the Kiribati - Italy Cooperation Programme.
