The purpose of the project was to suggest the design of stand-alone renewable power supply systems on Futuna Island in the Republic of Vanuatu. The proposed sitess for power production were the villages of Mission Bay, Matangi, Herald Bay and Iahsoa.

Prospective Impacts of Improved Energy on Income Generating Activities in Rural Vanuatu

This report was prepared by Tyler Szabo. This paper will focus on how improved energy provision could benefit Vanuatu’s rural industries and therefore generate additional income for rural communities. Specifically, it will document promising technology enhancements that could increase revenue for rural enterprises but that require a new or improved energy source. It will also document key existing programs that are focused on rural livelihood development and which could serve as strategic partners in a targeted rural energy plan.

Climate Investment Funds

This report was prepared by the Government of Vanuatu. This document contains the Investment Plan (IP) for Vanuatu. The consultations included a wide range of government agencies, as well as representatives from the private sector, civil society, and academia. This Investment Plan, if implemented, will be profoundly transformational for Vanuatu, changing a country with very limited access to electricity to one in which roughly 90 percent of the population has access and in which most of the energy consumed comes from renewable energy sources.
