Nauru Training Needs and Gap Analysis Report. Conducted and compiled by Nixxon Kua.

The main mitigation contribution is to achieve the outcomes and targets under the National Energy Road Map (NERM), recommendations under the Second National Communications (SNC) and is conditional on receiving adequate funding and resources. To replace a substantial part of electricity generation with a large scale grid connected solar photovoltaic system (PV) with an estimated cost of 42 million US$. Concurrent to the above there needs to be put in place extensive demand-side energy management improvements with an estimated cost of 8 million US$ which will complete the PV installation.

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.
