This survey report was prepared by Thomas Lynge Jensen, UNDP Pacific Centre for the Government of Cook Islands. The energy survey component can be such an important project design tool; one of the methods used to determine the size of an electrification project is to carry out a needs survey of the prospective recipients of the project. The survey was carried out over three days.
This report is prepared by Hydro-Electric Corporation. The report is an Inception Report of the Project Owner’s Engineer (POE), Entura, for the Cook Islands Renewable Energy Sector Project. The report details the POE’s findings on the status of the project, and presents a detailed plan for implementation.
This report presents the findings of a feasibility study of an Energy Storage for Rarotonga. The report was developed by DNV KEMA for Te Aponga Uira (TAU) to assess the need and feasibility for storage for the Island of Rarotonga under selected future generation scenarios. The Cook Islands enjoyed a high level of electrification. However, the energy supply has been heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels, exposing the Cook Islands to the risks of energy security and international oil price volatility.
Report prepared for Cook Islands Government by Ouro Preto International, Australia. Review of fuel distribution and pricing system in the Cook Islands. Petroleum based fuel is currently supplied into Cook Islands by three multi-national oil companies (MNOCs) into three bulk fuel terminals on Rarotonga. Even though there are three fuel terminals and more than three fuel suppliers to Cook Islands, there is very limited competition. As mentioned above, what competition there is often has the effect of driving fuel prices up instead of down.
Report prepared for the Government of the Cook Islands and funded by the Government of New Zealand. This report is the result of investigation of the current power system on Aitutaki and institutional arrangements for the future direction of Aitutaki Power Supply (APS).
The Government of the Cook Islands commissioned a power study for Aitutaki. This report covering the environmental issues is a component of the study. The study comprises a Preliminary Environmental Impact Assessment of the power upgrade recommendations of the main study and includes an environmental review of the current power operations as an essential component of any power upgrade study, so that. environmental requirements and costs can be integrated into the overall power upgrade plan.
Increasing recognition of the changes in the natural environment as a result of human interference has lead to the international community agreeing on a number of multi-lateral environmental agreements (MEAs). This report is divided into four major parts:
• Overview and Background
• Thematic Profile for Climate Change
• Thematic Profile for Biological Diversity
PREA 1992 Report on the Cook Islands issues and options in the energy sector. Published by the World Bank in cooperation with the UNDP/ESCAP Pacific Energy Development Programme and the Asian Development Bank.
The purpose of this report is to set out the detailed methodology and an implementation plan for the RAKAHANGA, MANIHIKI AND PUKAPUKA ISLANDS RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT. In preparing this report, CAT Projects has relied upon and presumed accurate, certain assumptions relative to the availability of information (or absence thereof) and levels of cooperation provided by the GoCI(Goverment of Cook Islands) and Island Administrations. Except as otherwise stated in the report, CAT Projects has not attempted to verify the accuracy or completeness of any such assumptions.
The final report comprises of;
