Least cost analysis of electricity generation in Kiritimati Island. Study analyses the cost of wind, solar and electricity storage technologies that could replace the existing diesel generators on Kiritimati Island, with an emphasis on the unit cost of electricity. Study aims to identify the least cost analysis, over a 20 years period from the perspective of the Ministry and provide guidance for more detailed feasibility studies to be undertaken.
Perfomance benchmarking study for Pacific Island power utilities - 20 utilities. The last study of such kind was undertaken a decade ago. The current study adopts same basic indicators in the ealier effort, but additional indicators added to include grid-connected renewable systems, utility energy efficiencies, electricity suppply to grids from independent suppliers and others. Study coordinated by Pacific Power Association.
