Vanuatu

Vanuatu baseline energy security indicator profile 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 partnership in the promotion of energy security in Vanuatu. BizClim provided funds to review the energy balance status of Vanuatu.

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.

PIEPSAP end of project report.

Advanced Regional Training on 'Solar Power' : To provide in conjunction with the Solar Energy Company (SEC) in Kiribati assistance in the coordination of an advanced training programme on "Solar Power" in Fiji. Training programme convened and trainees trained.

Senior solar technicians from Kiribati, Samoa, Tokelau, Tonga, Vanuatu and Marshall Islands attended at an Advanced Regional Training Workshop on Solar Power at the Center for Appropriate Technology
Development (CATD), Nadave, Fiji, from 5 to 9 May 2003.

Technical Assistance on the Energy Supply and Demand Database : To assist member countries to establish and maintain a compatible, accurate, reliable and up-to-date energy supply and demand database so as to enable effective management and planning of their
national energy sectors.

Regional Biomass Resource Assessment : To assess the biomass resource in a number of member countries (Cook Is, Fiji, FSM, Kiribati, Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu) and to prepare a management plan for the future effective use and management of the resource. This project helped ensure that member countries are able to better assess and manage their relatively scarce biomass resources.

The study of Energy Release and Seismicity in the South West Pacific (continued) : The objective of this study is to determine the dynamics and structure of the New Hebrides Island Ridge and its active marginal zone. Initial field work began in 1976 with a series of seismic experiments. The experiments, a series of short refraction profiles using small air-gun source was obtained in the central New Hebrides.

This study was undertaken as a SOPAC project, funded by NORAD and carried out under contract by OCEANOR of Trondheim, Noway. The wave data collected are available on a data base at the SOPAC Secretariat in Fiji. In this report the wave climate of the area of the South West Pacific covered by the project, which is bounded by 30"s to the equator and 160"E to 160°W, is described. This area covers the Vanuatu, Fiji and Tonga groups, the Cook Islands, Western Samoa, Tuvalu and the southern part of Western Kiribati.
