The 3rd phase of the “Technical assistance to update the energy security indicators for the framework for action on energy security in the Pacific“ began in October 2013 with the aim to:
The study assesses the potential and economic feasibility of LPG, LNG or CNG to meet medium term energy needs in PICTs. It considers the end-use applications of power generation, process heating, maritime transport, land transport, cooking and water heating. The existing fuels considered for substitution include heavy fuel oil (HFO), diesel, gasoline, kerosene and biomass.
International aviation fuel is excluded because gas does not offer a technologically viable alternative to aviation fuel at this stage.
In line with the decisions of the Ministers of Energy of the Pacific Islands States and Territories (PICTs), the project aims to establish and implement the first operational phase of the Pacific Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (PCREEE). The centre represents an innovative fusion of regional and international efforts and capabilities. Its design leverages a network of intra and extra regional partnerships, serving as a "hub" for knowledge and technical expertise on matters related to sustainable energy projects' implementation.
Executive Summary:
This publication provides information on the PPP business environment in nine ADB developing member countries to help public sector policy makers improve private sector participation in infrastructure projects.
The island of Ta’u in American Samoa, located more than 4,000 miles from the West Coast of the United States, now hosts a solar power and battery storage-enabled microgrid that can supply nearly 100 percent of the island’s power needs from renewable energy. This provides a cost-saving alternative to diesel, removing the hazards of power intermittency and making outages a thing of the past.

Mission report to the Federated States of Micronesia from June-July, 2007 as part of the REP-5 programme. The following is an overview of content captured in this report:
- Yap visit: from 10 to 15 June 2007, recommendations for Yap State PV mini-grids
- Fadrai Project Review.
- Asor Project Review. Both reviews focused on load estimate, sizing and cost estimate, recommendations, load forecast, PV system sizing and budget summary
2.Chuuk Visit: 15 to 24 June 2007.
Reports on conditions of project buildings in Pohnpei State. The assessment aimed to examine the condition of the physical structure of the selected buildings that will receive a PV system under the REP-5 programme. There are plans to put a PV solar system on buildings on each of the 5 main outer atolls in Pohnpei:
- Mwoakilloa
- Pingelap
- Sapwaufic
- Nukuoro
- Kapingamarangi
Short mission report to the FSM, Pohnpei State. The aim of the mission carried out by Mr. Brewer and Ms. Legros was to visit and assess the suitability for renewable energy systems of seven of the outer islands in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) which are Sapwuafic, Nukuoro, Kapingamarangi, Onoun, Satawan, Asor and Fadrai. The overall assessment was to examine the potential to supply electricity to the health centres and schools on these islands using renewable energy technologies.
Short mission report to the Federated States of Micronesia from November to December in Yap State.

Off-grid solar installation inspection report for Yap. The aim of the inspections carried out by the REP-5 Programme Management Unit (PMU) over the period of November 2008 to March 2009 in Pohnpei, Chuuk and Yap was to ensure that the supply and installation of the 161 off- grid PV systems were done. The PV systems were designed and implemented as rooftop installations at seven sites; as flat roof installations at six sites; and as ground-mounted installations at three sites.
