This report was prepared by the International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) for the renewable energy and energy efficiency partnership (REEEP) and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community.
A considerable amount of effort has been focused on addressing the energy supply and security issues within the Pacific.
The aim of this report is to provide near term solutions that can improve generation efficiency, increasing electrical generation by at least 10 percent without additional fuel costs or increased emissions. What is sought now is support to analyse an immediate opportunity with a view to preparing a pragmatic commercial package that will allow its early implementation.
This report was prepared by K. Raghavan for the Inter-regional advisor and the University of West Indies Center for Energy and Development.
Eleven islands on three SIDS in the South Pacific have been selected for this Case Study (eight islands in Tuvalu, two in Fiji and one in Tonga). The selection criteria included: · The government of the island state should be strongly interested in making one or more of their islands into “100% RE Islands”.

This project was a joint initiative by the Government of RMI, MEC, UNDP and SOPAC. The objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of the use of coconut products for electricity generation in rural atoll communities in the Marshall Islands as a strategy for import substitution and to enable rural communities to participate in value-adding economic activities while creating jobs in the non-formal sector as well as improving and sustaining their livelihoods.
This report was prepared by Gerhard Zieroth under the PIEPSAP Project. During the PIEPSAP consultations, the stakeholders repeatedly expressed the need to explore the option to use locally produced coconut oil as a substitute fuel. Both the Minister of Resources and Development and the Minster of Public Works are particularly interested in decentralized coconut oil extraction that is seen to open a range of opportunities for economic development of the outer islands. It would contribute to rural income poverty alleviation and economic development.
