Renewables

Summary Report.

UNDP funded project. The development goal of the proposed project is the reduction of the growth rate of GHG emissions from fossil fuel using activities, particularly diesel power generation through the removal of the major barriers to the development and application of renewable energy-based systems that can supplant part of the fossil fuel use in the Maldives.

A grid-connected PV-diesel hybrid system has been designed and installed at one of the Outer Islands of the Maldives, as part of the SMILES project. Matching of demand and supply was thoroughly examined using the HOMER optimization programme. Data on daily load and efficiency of present diesel generators were collected as well as data on solar irradiation.

This Master's Degree project has been perfomed on behalf of Vanuatu Renewable Energy and Power Association. The purpose of the project was to suggest the design of stand-alone renewable power supply systems on Futuna Island in the Republic of Vanuatu. The proposed sitess for power production were the villages of Mission Bay, Matangi, Herald Bay and Iahsoa. In Mission Bay and Matangi the power should be produced by wind turbines and in Herald Bay and Iahsoa, solar modules are proposed. 

Hydropower report for the Solomon Islands. Report published in 2013 by UNIDO and International Center on Small Hydro Power.

This report was prepared by the Central Planning and Policy Office and the Economic Policy Division Government of the Cook Islands. “Te Kaveinga Nui” was developed to guide the national development into the future. It is a pathway that sets out a 15 year visionary framework called ‘Living the Cook Islands Vision – A 2020 Challenge’. The starting point for meeting our long term vision is the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) 2007-2010.

This report prepared by the Cook Islands Government. NSDP 2011-2015 builds upon the gains made in NSDP 2007-2010. The purpose of the NSDP is to set national goals, the expected results and effective strategies to guide policy decisions over the medium term in order to realise the 2020 Development Outcomes that aim to deliver on Te Kaveinga Nui National Vision. The National Vision and 2020 Development Outcomes demonstrate an approach that brings together social, economic and environmental priorities underpinned by good governance, culture and effective partnerships.

Cook Islands NAMA UNFCCC template format.  NAMA seeking support for implementation. 

This amendment policy was prepared by the Te Aponga Uira (TAU). The purpose of this amendment policy is to outline the arrangements required to achieve an effective and consistent implementation of Grid connected renewable generation, to clarify the criteria for current net metering incentives, and to introduce the gross metering and independent power producer categories.
