The Sustainable Energy Industry Development Project (SEIDP) will be implemented by the Pacific Power Assocition and will provide technical assistance to increase data availability and capacity in Pacific Island power utilities for renewable energy. This Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF) sets out the principles and procedures for managing the environment and social aspects of the project. The framework is to guide the PPA and its consultants on how to screen the activities and manage any issues during project implementation.

Manual prepared by the SPC Energy Programme to inform and support work of PICTs officials that regulate or monitor the price of fuel in their respective jurisdictions. To demonstrate how the cost of Pacific Island fuels can be better understood by referring to its various components which are both internationally and locally influenced. 

The purpose of this report is to provide the results of the current round of benchmarking for Pacific power utilities. The objective of Pacific power benchmarking is to stimulate analysis and improvement in performance of participants. 

This benchmarking project has been performed through the following phases:

The purpose of this Manual is to provide easy-to-follow guidelines for use of benchmarking in Pacific power utilities.

The Pacific Power Association (PPA) and the Asian Development Bank(ADB) have initiated co-ordinated benchmarking for Pacific power utilities by facilitating the
conduct of a first round of benchmarking.  This Manual provides easy-to-follow guidelines upon how Pacific power utilities can continue with benchmarking to obtain maximum on-going benefits.

This Manual is a joint publication of the Pacific Power Association (PPA) and the Pacific Regional Infrastructure Facility (PRIF). This edition of the Power Benchmarking Manual draws upon the original Benchmarking Manual published by the Pacific Power Association in 2002 and funded by the Asian Development Bank. The contents of the 2002 version form the basis of Section 1 of this edition.

Preliminary Report - Energy Audit of the Ministry of Public Works & Utilities Building, Kiribati . December 2011. 

This paper provides a brief update on the preliminary findings of the audit undertaken at the Ministry of Public Works & Utilities premises in 2011. A full detailed energy audit report will be published and disseminated in the weeks to come following the complete analysis and monitoring of the premises.

This record holds 2 concept notes that were submitted by Kiribati Government for ACSE Programme implementation:

1. Land Use & Coastal Areas Vulnerability & Adaptation Assessment (Strengthening the evidence base for decission making through development, application and institutionalization of analysis tools for land use and coastal zone mapping) - Location: Bairiki, Tarawa.
2. Renewable Energy Project - PV solar hybrid systems for boarding schools in the rural communities - Location: Tabuaeran & Abemama Islands.

Biofuel Feasibility Study on Kiritimati Island, Final Draft, April 2012.  The objective of this study is to determine the available coconut resources in the Line Group and analyse the technical, economical, social, institutional and environmental feasbility of producing coconut oil (CNO) on Kiritimati Island and use it as a fuel subsitute in power  generation and transport.

Analysis shows that introduction of CNO as a diesel substitute could be an economically sound investment. It should view power generation as the main market for CNO.

Workshop agenda for workshop in Kiribati held on 22nd May 2013 at the Ministry of PUB & Utilities Board Room, Tarawa.
