FAESP: Energy security exists when all people at all times have access to sufficient sustainable sources of clean and affordable enrgy and services to enhance their social and economic well being and Energy security depends on the availability, accessibility, affordability, stability, and uses of energy. The FAESP Goal is to secure the supply, efficient production and use of energy for sustainable development.

This report is prepared by International Institute for Energy Conservation - Asia (IIEC Asia) for the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP). The main objective of this technical analysis was to assess the characteristics of major appliance and lighting products and markets in 17 Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs), in order to support government decision-making on the most suitable Standards & Labelling (S&L) strategy for each PICT.

Island communities worldwide face great challenges in achieving reliable, affordable, and secure energy for power and transportation needs. In spite of often having a relative abundance of renewable energy resources, most island countries remain highly dependent on imported fossil fuels to meet their energy needs. Due to the remoteness and relatively small size of most islands, imported fuel is typically very expensive.

This report was prepared by European Commission. This evaluation aims to provide an overall independent assessment of the European Union’s cooperation and partnership relations with the Pacific region over 2006-2012. On the basis of this assessment, it provides recommendations to improve the EU’s current and future strategies, programmes and actions. The evaluation scope covers regional cooperation implemented in 15 Pacific island states1 and four Overseas Countries and Territories of the EU Member States2.

This report was prepared by Rupeni Mario. The Pacific island countries are heavily dependent on fossil fuels to meet their increasing energy needs for economic development. The high costs associated with fossil fuels are placing an increasing strain on the economies in the region.  A significant factor in energy usage patterns in Pacific island countries has been attributed to the availability of energy sources as early as the fifteenth century where pollution control was not an issue. People have used what they have been able to get, be it coal, oil, natural gas, wood, etc.

This report was prepared by Castalia Advisory to the Asian Development Bank. The provision of water and energy infrastructure and services in the Pacific is poor when compared with other small island states. Many people, especially the rural poor, lack access to adequate water and energy services, and many water and energy utilities provide ineffective and inefficient service.
