Solomon Islands

IRENAs multi-faceted work in the region is reflected in Pacific Lighthouses: Renewable Energy Roadmapping for Islands. The main report, intended to provide a framework for further action, is supported by 15 reports on specific islands and a document detailing hybrid
power systems for the Pacific. Together, these reports identify key concepts, challenges and best practices for the accelerated uptake of renewable energy in the

Solomon Islands baseline energy security indicators in 2009. Indicators are based on the Framework for Action on Energy Security in the Pacific (FAESP).

Energy security and investment roadmap for Solomon Islands, PNG and Vanuatu.

Facilitating private sector participation in the promotion of energy security in Solomon Islands. BizClim provided funds to review the energy balance status of Solomon Islands.

This proposal has been prepared for the consideration of senior officials and Minsters at the SPC-convened Energy and Transport Ministers Meeting being held in Nadi from 31 March to 4 April 2014. It has been developed by ESCAP with the assistance of Dr. Herbert Wade, an independent consultant who undertook missions to Tuvalu (21-25 January 2014), Kiribati (26 January to 2 February 2014), and Vanuatu (4 - 7 February, 2014) 1 to help determine the feasibility of the PRDR through interviews with key stakeholders in those countries.

Resource Assessment and field Investigations of Wrecks : The followup study is limited to the 0-100m deep zone ( the zone of possible maximum environmental impacts and in which there is the most human interactions) the aims of the follow up study is to map, in the field, the specific locaton of shallow water ( less than 100m deep) wrecks, assess the general water circulations partterns, assess the natural resouces, in this zone and comments on the possible contamination risk that this wrecks may pose to the environment. If deemed necessary, proposals for follow-up studies will be made.

The study of Energy release and Seismicity in the Southwest Pacific : Initially proposed by the Ad hoc Committee in the 1975 CCOP/SOPAC - IDOE Workshop. The project seeks to undertake a series of interrelated studies which have as a common theme the release of seismic and heat energy. Work objectives were:
(1) Geothermal measurements, this would be an extension of existing and planned work on selected islands islands, as Efate Island (Vanuatu), Fiji & Solomon Islands.
(2) Earthquake and volcanic prediction
