Grid Connected Photovoltaic Electricity Supply on Tokelau Part II: Environmental Impact Assessment Final Report

This report was prepared by Gerhard Zieroth for the UNDP/ UNESCO. The specific objective of this EIA is to provide the decision makers in Tokelau with an account of the environmental implications of the proposed PV project and identify, describe and recommend feasible mitigation measures for minimizing, eliminating or offsetting unavoidable adverse effects from the current, diesel based Tokelau Power Project.

Grid Connected Photovoltaic Electricity Supply on Tokelau: Hardware Specification Feasibility Study Report

This report was prepared by Gerhard Zieroth for the UNDP/ UNESCO. The present study evaluates the technical, economical, financial and institutional feasibility of grid-connected photovoltaic power generation for the islands of Tokelau. It compares various options and identifies a solution that shows the best Economic Rate of Return. It also defines the hardware requirements for the system configuration preferred by Tokelau Power Systems (TPS).

Promoting Access To Renewable Energy in the Pacific Solomon Island Component

This report was preapred by Gerhard Zieroth for ADB. In the Solomon Islands electricity is supplied to less than 20% of the population. Almost all generation is based on imported diesel fuel. This report assesses the potential for developing  alternative energy sources for electricity generation, in particular small scale hydropower for the outstations of the Solomon Islands Electricity Authority.

SREP Investment Plan of the Government of Solomon Islands

This report was prepared by the Government of Solomon Islands. Village-level mini-grids provide a means of providing electrical energy of a quality and volume that supports income generation and opportunities in the cash-economy, that are not possible with simple household PV solar systems. There is some success in Solomon Islands over the last 20 years with local communities and Rural Electrification Service Companies (RESCOs) in developing mini-grids, most of which are based on micro-hydro technology, but with some using coconut oil biofuel and solar PV.

Promoting Access to Renewable Energy in the Pacific-Draft Inception Report

The Inception report was prepared by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).  Electricity supply in the Solomon Islands is provided to less than 20 % of the population. Almost all generation is based on imported diesel fuel. Apart from this high dependence on external supply, the country also faces challenges in the development of the energy sector, including maintaining reliability, ensuring commercial viability of the power utility SIEA and increasing access to modern energy supply.

Preparatory Phase of the Samoa Photovolatic Electrification Programme - Survey Report Final Draft

This report was prepared by Herbert Wade, Bruce Clay and Mewang Gyeltshen. The intended outcome of this preparatory phase is a detailed grid extension and off-grid renewable energy based rural electrification program to provide the remaining non-electrified households in Samoa with 24-hour power. As part of this preparatory phase a consultancy was undertaken for household survey design, surveyor training design, survey analysis, a feasibility study and preparation of a Project Document for completion of electrification in Samoa.
