Baseline studies to Assist in Developing the use of Ocean Energy : It was proposed in the 13th Session and at time of reporting was yet to be initiated, work was to commence in 1986. It was recommended that existing data and situation with regards to ocean energy be reviewed and areas and schemes for development be identified. All activities was to be coordinated with SPREP.
Joint Evaluation of the Naroi Photovoltaics Project : The Naroi Solar PV Project is one of the first PV projects in Fiji to use Cash Power Meters. It was therefore
considered beneficial that following a training attachment and visit to the site by Tonga EPU (Talanoa) and
SOPAC Energy Unit staff that a report on the findings of the visit be recorded and published. The primary objective of this is to evaluate the Naroi (Fiji) solar PV Project.
Assesment of energy potential from marine renewable sources such as OTEC waves and lagoon currents : Proposed in the 2nd Session and intiated in the 11th Session. The Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is being installed in Nauru. In order to assess the renewable energy potential of the offshore areas of Fiji, baseline data is needed to assist in the evaluation of those sites. Objective: To produce baseline data on the inshore waters in Fiji area to assist investigations into the use of various alternative sea water energies as resources of power.

Rural Electrification Policy : The provision of assistance with the development and review of National Rural Electrification Policies.
Pacific Energy News Number 1 February 2001.
Review of Fiji Rural Electrification (RE) Policy : The objective for carrying out this consultancy work was to review the current electrification policy (REP) that was approved by Cabinet in 1993.
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.
