This report is prepared by the Vanuatu Utilities Regulatory Authority (URA). These Preliminary Guidelines are being provided to all interested persons in the matter of developing regulatory guidelines for Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The electricity networks in Vanuatu are currently vertically integrated, meaning that the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity are all performed by the same company.
1985 report by Joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Assessment Program for Vanuatu.
This report was prepared by World Bank. 1992 report. World Bank produced a series of reports on this dating back to 1985.
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.
This report was prepared by the International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) in collaboration with Vanuatu Department of Energy & Meteorology, UNDP Pacific Centre, SPC CCCPIR Energy Component and the Vanuatu National Statistics Office for the Asian Development Bank and the Government of Vanuatu. The survey objectives were to reduce data gaps regarding residential energy use in electrified urban households and use the information to develop initiatives to assist households, reduce electrical energy use without compromising the quality of services.
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 Tyler Szabo. This paper will focus on how improved energy provision could benefit Vanuatu’s rural industries and therefore generate additional income for rural communities. Specifically, it will document promising technology enhancements that could increase revenue for rural enterprises but that require a new or improved energy source. It will also document key existing programs that are focused on rural livelihood development and which could serve as strategic partners in a targeted rural energy plan.

This report was prepared by Peter Johnston. FAESP: Energy security exists when all people at all times have access to sufficient sustainable sources of clean and affordable enrgy and services to enhance their social and economic well being and Energy security depends on the availability, accessibility, affordability, stability, and uses of energy. The FAESP Goal is to secure the supply, efficient production and use of energy for sustainable development.
This report was prepared by ESCAP consisting of Rikke Munk Hansen and Herbert Wade. The mission was to visit Tarawa, Kiribati to assist in developing detailed terms of reference for a prefeasibility study on solar/diesel hybrid power development for Islands Council Office areas on rural islands.
Tuvalu National Electrification Master Plan.
This paper provides a brief summary of the Tuvalu experience with the Lomé II Regional PV Follow-Up Programme. The paper also covers the work carried out through the Lomé III PV Programme which was funded under Tuvalu’s National Indicative Programme (NIP) . The Lomé II and III programmes were a joint undertaking and were implemented simultaneously. Wherever the Lomé II programme is referenced, it also refers to the Lomé III programme.
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 only touches briefly on petroleum.
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.
An Expert Meeting to discuss the Pacific Regional Data Repository was held on 5-6 December 2013 at the ESCAP Pacific Office. The meeting followed the signing of a ‘Declaration on the Pacific Regional Data Repository on Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL)’ in New York on 27 September 2013, and was held to discuss energy data needs and priorities as input into the drafting of a technical proposal for consideration by Pacific island governments.
Circular on the outcome of the second regional meeting of Pacific Ministers of Energy and Transport (Aviation and Maritime): Nadi, Fiji , 2 - 4 April 2014.
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.
The statistics presented in this publication primarily cover members states located in the Asia Pacific region.This publication is for reference only.
