The report is prepared by the Pacific Power Association with funding by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It involved working closely with the Governments and power utilities of the PICs, other international donors, and the Pacific Region Infrastructure Facility (PRIF) Energy Sector Working Group2 to identify potential private sector investment opportunities and to document the existing and ongoing private sector investments in the power sector.

This report analyses fuel subsidies in Kiribati. It attempts to quantify the subsidies on the three most important fuels in Kiribati – benzene, diesel and household kerosene – using a methodology called the price-gap approach. This method gives rough monetary estimates of subsidies, but is relatively simple to apply and has low data requirements. The subsidies were estimated for 2011–2015, where data were best available, but applying the present day tax regime for estimation instead of the tax regime prior to the 2014 tax reform.

Introduction:

The Agence Française de Développement confided this study to the Airaro1 consulting firm, which is based in French Polynesia, in consultation and unanimous agreement with the Polynesian Ministry of Public Works, Energy and Mines, the services of the High Commission of the French Polynesian Republic and the Agence pour le Développement et la Maîtrise de l'Energie (ADEME, Agency for the Development and Management of Energy).

These reports captures the quarterly price review from 2016. Reviews are based on analysis of Means of Platts Singapore(MOPS), Benchmark Saudi Aramco LPG prices(sourced from Gas Energy Australia) and Pacific Fuel Prices on a quarterly basis (source from Pacific Island countries)

A household electrical appliances, lights and end-use survey was undertaken in South Tarawa during the period 19-30 July and in Kiritimati Island during the period 8-19 September 2016. In South Tarawa a total of 819 households were surveyed, which is 10.4% of all households in South Tarawa. In Kiritimati Island a total of 164 households were surveyed, which is 16.1% of all households in Kiritimati Island.

This report is a publication of the Pacific Power Association (PPA). The report is based upon the 2013/2014 fiscal reporting year relevant to each utility. Presents the results of the fourth successive annual assessment of Pacific electricity utility performance since 2011. Report prepared by PPA with technical support from the Pacific Region Infrastructure Facility (PRIF).

The study assesses the potential and economic feasibility of LPG, LNG or CNG to meet medium term energy needs in PICTs. It considers the end-use applications of power generation, process heating, maritime transport, land transport, cooking and water heating. The existing fuels considered for substitution include heavy fuel oil (HFO), diesel, gasoline, kerosene and biomass.

International aviation fuel is excluded because gas does not offer a technologically viable alternative to aviation fuel at this stage.
