The Government of Fiji Gazette Supplement published the The Marine Spaces (Territorial Seas) (Rotuma and its Dependencies) (Amendment) Order 2012 which contains Fiji’s claims over its territorial sea which extends from the low-water line of Ceva-i-Ra, from the archipelagic baselines of the Fiji archipelago, and from the straight baselines of Rotuma Islands and its dependencies.
Furthermore, it states the geographical coordinates based on the International Terrestrial Reference System 2005 (ITRS2005) Geodetic Datum.
The record captures power utility information for Tuvalu during the period 2012-2016 for selected categories. Data is produced by Tuvalu's Electricity Corporation (TEC). Data is captured for Funafuti and outer islands. Dataset attached is comprehensive and covers information on electricity, fuel consumption (diesel), electricity generation from Solar PV in Funafuti and the outer islands.
List of renewable energy projects carried out in Tuvalu. Data is sourced from the Tuvalu Energy Department, Tuvalu Master Plan for Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency.

Following expression of interest from several Forum Island Countries for assistance in assessing their wind resource, the Forum Secretariat initiated the South Pacific Wind and Solar Monitoring Project in 1993. The goal of the project was to establish at a suitable site in each participating country, a wind and solar radiation monitoring system for evaluating the potential of wind power for main grid electricity generation and to record and analyse wind and solar energy data for a period of 2 years.
A study funded by the Secretariat of the Pacific Islands Forum (an inter-governmental organisation that aims to enhance cooperation between the independent countries of the Pacific region) using a 30-metre wind measurement mast was carried out from 1995–1997.
No systematic wind resource measurements have been carried out in Palau over the years, though they are being planned. Based on measurements made for climate records, it appears unlikely that wind energy can be a significant resource for power generation. However, since wind power is very site-specific, proper assessment is needed. Wind energy measurements using well instrumented 30-metre masts are planned to commence in 2013 and a proper wind map of the main islands should be available by 2015.

There is a moderate seasonal wind resource in the RMI, with perhaps sufficient wind for energy development in the northernmost islands. However, there is very little data on wind conditions and none specifically designed for assessing its energy potential. It would be worthwhile assessing the wind energy potential for Majuro and Ebeye, where power demands are high. In 2012, two 34-metre wind resource assessment masts were installed in the outer islands to monitor and collect wind data. Source: IRENA Country Lighthouse Report
A limited wind resource assessment has been carried out in Yap and sufficiently high wind areas have been located on the main island that may allow cost effective power generation. Detailed assessments were planned for 2013 at two high-wind sites, one close to Colonia, Yap, and the other at Tonowas, in Chuuk. The resource in these areas is seasonal and, based on weather measurements, appears modest, but there may be areas of sufficient wind to support a cost-effective installation.

There is very limited data on wind energy potential in Vanuatu. A Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat project monitored wind speeds at a site on Efate in the mid-1990s, finding average speeds of 5.0 m/s in 1995 and 4.2 m/s in 1996, well below the 6 m/s generally considered to be necessary for economic electricity production. However, only 63% of data was recovered in 1996, so these results should be treated with caution.
Eight sites in Fiji have been collecting long-term wind data with mast heights varying from 10 to 48 metres (m). Ideal wind energy measurements are made at a minimum of 30 m, although 50 m is preferred. Future wind measurement installations are to be all at 50 m. So far, measurements near the grid indicate that Fiji’s wind speeds offer marginal benefits for energy generation compared to the FEA’s historical generation costs. Some sites should be cost-effective for wind power installations given the FEA’s marginal costs for investments in new diesel generators.
