The statistics presented in this publication primarily cover members states located in the Asia Pacific region.This publication is for reference only.

The concept of a data repository going directly to primary data sources is one that has not been tried in the Pacific and it was not known how the primary data sources, particularly petroleum suppliers and distributors, and the government Statistics Departments would accept the concept. Therefore ESCAP selected three countries, Vanuatu, Tuvalu and Kiribati to visit and interview government officials, managers of the organizations that would be the primary data sources for the repository.

This report was prepared by Rikke Munk Hansen for the department of energy. This report is the result of an advisory mission to the Department of Energy (DoE). There is a general recognition among staff of the Department of Energy (DoE) of the importance of energy statistics for development, implementation and monitoring of energy policies. The establishment of an energy demand database and the provision on energy demand and supply data to the public are part of the Department’s corporate plan.

This report was prepared by Peter Johnston for the Division of Energy. .  This overview report summarises energy policy issues in the Cook Islands and provides general recommendations to improve both the policies and possible means to more effectively implement. .

This report was prepared by the Government of Vanuatu. This document contains the Investment Plan (IP) for Vanuatu. The consultations included a wide range of government agencies, as well as representatives from the private sector, civil society, and academia. This Investment Plan, if implemented, will be profoundly transformational for Vanuatu, changing a country with very limited access to electricity to one in which roughly 90 percent of the population has access and in which most of the energy consumed comes from renewable energy sources.

This report was prepared by Castlerock Consulting Ltd for the World Bank Group. Electricity in Vanuatu is supplied via concessions granted by the Government to private utilities. Though reliability and quality of supply is excellent on Efate relative to other island nation utility peers, the high price of electricity and its limited reach has profound, adverse socioeconomic impacts on the country. Efate’s geothermal power potential offers such a prospect. Vanuatu has been the subject of geothermal prospecting since the 1970’s.
