1985 report by Joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Assessment Program for Vanuatu. 

This feasibility study report is based on a project proposal submitted by the Government of the Republic of Vanuatu, through the Energy Unit for funding under the sponsoring agency - SPCs Australian and French-funded Pacific rural Renewable Energy France-Australia Common Endeavour (PREFACE). The proposal, requested donor assistance for the electrification through solar energy to the proposal locations at the islands of Ambrym and the Bank Islands.

This report was prepared by Katerina Syngellakis. The regional programme “Coping with Climate Change in the Pacific Island Region” (CCCPIR) aims to build and strengthen the capacities of Pacific member countries and regional organizations to adapt to, and mitigate, climate change impacts. A solar PV system is considered to produce electricity independently of the main grid. In the case of Vanuatu, where the main grid is fuelled almost entirely by diesel, the solar PV system also reduces diesel use and carbon dioxide emissions (one of the greenhouse gases which cause climate change).

This report was prepared by Thomas Lynge Jensen of the UNDP Pacific Centre. The energy household survey in Port Olry, including this report, has benefitted significantly from recent United Nations (UN) supported household surveys in Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Samoa and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). In addition the format of this report overall follows the format of the Preparatory Phase of the Samoa Photovoltaic Electrification Programme – Survey Report (UNDP, 2008) which was prepared by Dr. Herbert Wade et al for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

This report was prepared by Anthony Richard Polack of the University of Canberra. This dissertation is for partial fulfillment of the Master of Science in Renewable Energy. 

UNDP report on towards an 'Energy Plus' approach for the poor. A review of the good practices and lessons learned from Asia and the Pacific. Case Study 17 on Environment and Energy. Vanuatu's Community Powerhouse rural electrification model. The Community Powerhouse is a model for community-based rural electrification in Vanuatu. The model is being developed and implemented, in collaboration with local communities, by the Vanuatu Renewable Energy and Power Association (VANREPA) in response to locally identified needs for rural energy services.
