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.
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.
Renewables Readiness Assessment of the Marshall Islands produced by IRENA.The RRA study identified challenges to be addressed to scale up renewable energy in RMI. Recommended actions communicated to RMI Government and development partners. This recommended actions were converted into practical projects and 5 activities have been drafted. This activities are intended to be reviewed by the RMI MRD Energy Planning Division and using any necessary external support develop the project concepts into full project proposals to be submitted to development partners for funding.
Barbados Declaration outlining the various commitments by Governments at the Ministerial Conference on "Achieving Sustainable Energy for All in SIDS - Challenges, Opportunities, Commitments" in Barbados 7-8 May 2012. Contains listing of voluntary commitments by SIDS in the areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy access and low carbon development.
Quantification of Energy Efficiency in the Utilities of the US Affiliate States (Excluding US Virgin Islands) - Marshalls Energy Company, Majuro, Marshall Islands.
KEMA was asked by the Pacific Power Association (PPA) to conduct an energy efficiency study titled: “Quantification of Energy Efficiency in the Utilities of the U.S. Affiliate States (excluding US Virgin Islands)” for the 10 Northern Pacific Island Utilities . Attached in this recors are 2 relating reports:
In the year 2010 , KEMA Inc conducted a study for the Pacific Power Association (PPA) called “Quantification of Energy Efficiency in the Utilities of the U.S. Affiliate States
(excluding US Virgin Islands)” for 9 Northern Pacific Island Utilities. This Consolidated Report gives an overview of the major findings and results of the study. KEMA’s assignment included 10 Northern Pacific Island Utilities, but during the course of the project, it became necessary to postpone the study for one of the islands, American Samoa, to 2011.
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.
This record holds 2 concept notes that were submitted by the Government of RMI for the EU-GIZ ACSE Programme implementation:
Annual benchmarking is a mechanism for better information collection and decision making within power utilities, and assisting the improvement of operational efficiency, service delivery and overall performance.
During 2012, 22 Pacific Island power utilities participated in the second of a programme of annual performance benchmarking studies. This year’s benchmarking employed the same indicators established by the 2011 study – itself the first benchmarking assessment to be carried out in more than a decade.
