Wave Energy : Assessment of Wave Energy Potential
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.
The aim of this study is to conduct an economic and financial evaluation of a number of
technologically-proven renewable energy projects, which have been implemented in Pacific Island
Countries, in order to assess the potential for renewable energy to play a larger role in rural
electrification strategies in the region. These include projects that utilise technologies such as
solar photovoltaic (PV) home systems, wind-hybrid systems, coconut biofuel-powered generators

National Consultations Tuvalu: PIEPSAP Project : A consultation workshop was arranged with the Department of Energy on Tuesday 8th January, 2005. The purpose of the workshop was to brief the representatives of the various line ministries, departments and other stakeholders about the PIEPSAP Project. During the consultation it was agreed that the representatives would make up the PIEPSAP National Task Force and the Energy Planner would be the National Team Coordinator.
Installation of Ground Receiver Unit in Tonga for Buoy Transmission: Waverider Programme : A visit was carried out to Tonga between the 28th to 30th October 1987. The purpose of the visit was to install the ground receiver unit at a favorable site where the buoy transmission could be received, power would be available, and the unit and processing PC could be attended daily in a secure compound.
