Record of energy data information on the South Pacific Countries for the ADB Project.
Prepared by SOPAC Energy Unit for the Asian Institute of Technology.
Technical Assistance on the Energy Supply and Demand Database : To assist member countries to establish and maintain a compatible, accurate, reliable and up-to-date energy supply and demand database so as to enable effective management and planning of their
national energy sectors.
Wind Power Development - Resource Monitoring (continued) : To encourage and assist member countries in particular the Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Tonga and Vanuatu in continuing the monitoring of their wind power resources.
Regional Energy Technology/ Information Database : The preparation of an information database of energy projects and technologies within the Pacific region and the establishment of guidelines for the updating and maintenance the database as a reference source for the future.
It was anticipated that the Regional Energy Information Database was to be available through the SOPAC web site. The database provides information on the whereabouts of reports on various energy projects, technologies, programs and reference material relevant to the Pacific region.

Schools Energy Education Program : To increase the awareness about the energy, economy and environment interactions and enhance the local capability in promoting energy efficiency but with a particular emphasis on the school children.
Promote and Seek Support for the Development of Geothermal Energy in the South Pacific : The objective of this task was to distribute to member countries and potential developers glossy booklet and other information regarding the geothermal potential of Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Western Samoa. In addition, the aim was to promote geothermal potential at regional and international geothermal workshops.
Technical information on new energy technologies to include geothermal energy resources.

Joint Ocean/Wave Energy Project : To develop a new project to monitor the progress with the development of ocean-based energy
technologies, to extend the earlier resource assessment work carried out by SOPAC and to look at the
possibility of building a ocean-based energy demonstration project in the region.

Investigation of Oceanographic Conditions at Tongatapu Blowholes for Assessment Studies of Power Generation from Wave Energy : Project objectives are to:
(1) produce baseline data of the inshore waters of the southern coast of Tongatapu &
(2) assist investigations into the use of wave energy at the blowholes as a source of power.
In 1984, a suitable site was found to install wave recording instruments.
