Vanuatu RRA report gives an outline of the energy sector and recommendations & challenges for scaling up renewable energy. Eight core activities are recommended to increase renewable energy uptake in Vanuatu.
Fiji RRA report provides overview of Fijis energy sector and renewable energy, enabling environment for renewable energy development, opportunities for deployment of RE and recommendations. Report examines the general enabling environment for increase RE uptake in Fiji i.e.
This report focuses on identifying the key concepts, challenges and best practises needed to increase renewable energy uptake on Pacific Islands through hybrid RE and diesel powered systems. A model of solar PV integration in the Tongatapu diesel-powered grid is included in the report.
This report was commissioned by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) to showcase the Tokelau Renewable Energy Project, to share information on the project with partners, and to contribute to the pool of knowledge and information about the design and implementation of remote area mini-grids in the Pacific.
Report highlights the technical description, project proponents and proposal for the PV hybrid mini-grid for Chevalier College in Abemama Atoll in Kiribati. This was a pilot project for duplication at outer island schools and the Pacific region as a whole. Report was funded by the Kiribati - Italy Cooperation Programme.
The Sustainable Energy Industry Development Project (SEIDP) will be implemented by the Pacific Power Assocition and will provide technical assistance to increase data availability and capacity in Pacific Island power utilities for renewable energy. This Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF) sets out the principles and procedures for managing the environment and social aspects of the project. The framework is to guide the PPA and its consultants on how to screen the activities and manage any issues during project implementation.
In an ongoing effort to solve the region’s significant energy challenges, Pacific Island countries and territories and development partners are meeting this week (July 21 to 23 Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST)) in Honolulu to share experiences on increasing the use of renewable energy. Key speakers will discuss comprehensive approaches to energy sector transformation, including the importance of enabling legal and regulatory frameworks, capacity building, and financing. The workshop will examine a number of Pacific case studies, such as different clean energy initiatives in Hawai’i.
Renewables Readiness Assessment of the Marshall Islands produced by IRENA.The RRA study identified challenges to be addressed to scale up renewable energy in RMI. Recommended actions communicated to RMI Government and development partners. This recommended actions were converted into practical projects and 5 activities have been drafted. This activities are intended to be reviewed by the RMI MRD Energy Planning Division and using any necessary external support develop the project concepts into full project proposals to be submitted to development partners for funding.
This rapid assessment and gap analysis report outlines the current situation in Fiji with regards to the SE4ALL goals and the challenges and opportunities for achieving this goals. Report has attachments on pysical extension of FEA grid in Viti Levu, hydro potential in the main island, geothermal potential in the main islands and supply and demand model SE4ALL Targets.
