Reports and Proceedings

This report is prepared by the Vanuatu Utilities Regulatory Authority (URA). These Preliminary Guidelines are being provided to all interested persons in the matter of developing regulatory guidelines for Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The electricity networks in Vanuatu are currently vertically integrated, meaning that the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity are all performed by the same company.

Electrification feasibility study for the Torba Province. 

This report was written as a thesis for the environmental Sociology Group of the Department of Social Science at Wageningen Agricultural University. It is a product of a fieldwork period in Port Olry (Vanuatu) and project preparation at SPC Noumea. 

This feasibility study report is based on a project proposal submitted by the Government of the Republic of Vanuatu, through the Energy Unit for funding under the sponsoring agency - SPCs Australian and French-funded Pacific rural Renewable Energy France-Australia Common Endeavour (PREFACE). The proposal, requested donor assistance for the electrification through solar energy to the proposal locations at the islands of Ambrym and the Bank Islands.
