Manual prepared by the SPC Energy Programme to inform and support work of PICTs officials that regulate or monitor the price of fuel in their respective jurisdictions. To demonstrate how the cost of Pacific Island fuels can be better understood by referring to its various components which are both internationally and locally influenced.
In an ongoing effort to solve the region’s significant energy challenges, Pacific Island countries and territories and development partners are meeting this week (July 21 to 23 Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST)) in Honolulu to share experiences on increasing the use of renewable energy. Key speakers will discuss comprehensive approaches to energy sector transformation, including the importance of enabling legal and regulatory frameworks, capacity building, and financing. The workshop will examine a number of Pacific case studies, such as different clean energy initiatives in Hawai’i.
The Sustainable Energy Industry Development Project (SEIDP) will be implemented by the Pacific Power Assocition and will provide technical assistance to increase data availability and capacity in Pacific Island power utilities for renewable energy. This Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF) sets out the principles and procedures for managing the environment and social aspects of the project. The framework is to guide the PPA and its consultants on how to screen the activities and manage any issues during project implementation.
Report highlights the technical description, project proponents and proposal for the PV hybrid mini-grid for Chevalier College in Abemama Atoll in Kiribati. This was a pilot project for duplication at outer island schools and the Pacific region as a whole. Report was funded by the Kiribati - Italy Cooperation Programme.
This report was commissioned by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) to showcase the Tokelau Renewable Energy Project, to share information on the project with partners, and to contribute to the pool of knowledge and information about the design and implementation of remote area mini-grids in the Pacific.
This report focuses on identifying the key concepts, challenges and best practises needed to increase renewable energy uptake on Pacific Islands through hybrid RE and diesel powered systems. A model of solar PV integration in the Tongatapu diesel-powered grid is included in the report.
Fiji RRA report provides overview of Fijis energy sector and renewable energy, enabling environment for renewable energy development, opportunities for deployment of RE and recommendations. Report examines the general enabling environment for increase RE uptake in Fiji i.e. grid-based geothermal energy, solar PV, biomass, off-grid solar energy and more efficient vessels/renewable power for maritime transport. Fiji is identified by the Geothermal Energy Association as one of 39 countries that could meet their electricity demand solely by tapping the renewable energy from underground heat
Vanuatu RRA report gives an outline of the energy sector and recommendations & challenges for scaling up renewable energy. Eight core activities are recommended to increase renewable energy uptake in Vanuatu.
This Progress Report provides an introduction to the Tonga Energy Road Map (TERM) and a report on its activities and discusses performance outcomes, way forward and lessons learned. As a result of intensive dialogue with the Government of Tonga (GoT) and development partners, Tonga developed a ten year plan (2010-2020), the TERM, as the guiding document for GoT actions and development partner support for the energy sector.
