- Fiji,
- Cook Islands,
- Kiribati,
- Niue,
- Papua New Guinea,
- Samoa,
- Solomon Islands,
- Tonga,
- Tuvalu, and
- Vanuatu.
This report is one of the deliverables for the project. It details the key findings for Cook Islands.

Vanuatu’s National Energy Road Map (NERM) was considered and endorsed by the Council of Ministers in 2013. The NERM is the policy framework for developing the
energy sector in Vanuatu.
The NERM identified five priorities for the energy sector: access, petroleum supply, affordability, energy security, and climate change. It set out objectives, targets and actionsto achieve these priorities and contribute to the NERM’s overall vision.
The Nauru Energy Road Map (NERM) 2014 - 2020 was developed in 2013-14. This report reviews this document and its implementation to 2017 with the aim of facilitating feedback to inform the development of the updated NERM 2018 to 2020.
This inception report is a desk-based study prior to the initial visit to Vanuatu in April 2016. It is based on: i) the prior experience of the authors with issues regarding renewable energy development in remote islands of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) including Vanuatu); ii) a review of available relevant documentation; iii) discussions with Fiji-based experts familiar with Vanuatu and renewable energy issues facing Vanuatu; and iv) email exchanges and Skype discussions with stakeholders in Vanuatu, Pacific regional agencies dealing with renewable energy and others.
The KIER is Kiribati's comprehensive energy roadmap, which takes into account renewable energy and energy efficiency potential in all sectors from 2017 to 2025. The findings of this roadmap show that power sector is a key area, where the ongoing efforts from the deployment of solar PV should be continued and complemented with and improvement of efficiency in Kiribati’s entire energy system, including electricity use, heating, cooling, and transport.
the following publication is Report 3 of the consultancy services to develop a renewable energy (RE) based off-grid electrification master plan for the remote islands of Vanuatu. The report captures the Renewable Energy Resources and Prioritized Renewable Energy Projects and Technologies for the Islands of Emae, Makira, Mataso and Aneityum.
The Government of Vanuatu together with the World Bank implemented the Vanuatu Rural Electrification Project Stage 2 (VREP II) as part of scaling-up access to electricity services in rural areas through the financing of micro- and mini-grid installations. VREP II builds on the Project’sfirst stage (VREP I) which is financing “plug and play” systems for approximately 17,500 rural households, aid posts and community halls. Both VREP I and VREP II are investments under the Scaling Up Renewable Energy in Low Income Countries Program (SREP).
Executive summary: The Council of Ministers of Vanuatu endorsed the Vanuatu National Energy Roadmap (NERM) in 2013 as the overarching policy framework for developing Vanuatu’s energy sector. The Government of Vanuatu (GoV) undertook the first revision of the NERM between October 2015 and May 2016 to update the roadmap’s goals and targets.
This document comprises of a collection of reports submitted by responsible officers of different programs within the Department of Energy and compiled by the Director. Tesereports are against the 2016 Business Plans as required by PSC through the Director General’s office of the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-Hazards, Energy, Environment and Disaster Management.
Executive summary: The Government of Vanuatu (GoV) has identified addressing the cost of energy and security of supply as two of Vanuatu's development priorities. In an effort to improve both security and the cost of petroleum supply, the GoV together with the World Bank (WB), launched the Energy Road Map 2012-2022 to lay the foundation for future energy sector policy and investment. The Roadmap aims to identify the energy needs of the sector over the next 10 years, and the policy direction needed to support the required investment plan.
Executive Summary: Lighting Vanuatu commenced on 1 May 2010 as a two-year project. It sought to address Vanuatu’s “energy poverty” by increasing access by rural householders to handheld solar lanterns, thereby reducing household dependency on the use of kerosene for lighting.
Lighting Vanuatu aimed to deliver at least 24,000 solar lanterns through the use of a supply-side subsidy. This subsidy aimed to:

Executive Summary: This is the Pacific Islands region’s Strategy for solid waste management, setting the strategic direction for the period 2010-2015. It is supported by a high-level implementation plan which sets out the key actions that will be taken to deliver the vision of the strategy.
Executive summary: Cleaner Pacific 2025: Pacific Regional Waste and Pollution Management Strategy 2016–2025 is a comprehensive long-term strategy for integrated sustainable waste management and pollution prevention and control in the Pacific islands region until 2025. It provides a strategic management framework to addresswaste, chemicals and pollutants that will reduce associated threats to sustainable development of the region.
