NERM 2018 to 2020 PAGE 3Jan 2018

I am pleased to present this update of the Nauru Energy Road Map. The first Nauru Energy Road Map was endorsed in 2014 and since its adoption, implementation has been particularly good in the area of electricity supply. However, challenges posed by capacity issues, has limited progress in other areas. Institutional strengthening is being implemented across the board at the Nauru Utilities Corporation to address gaps, inadequacies and the various other challenges.

The purpose of this update is to reconfirm our national commitment to improving the sustainability of energy use through renewable energy and energy efficiency to contribute to a sustainable quality of life for all Nauruans.

Almost three quarters of the world’s energy needs today are met from fossil fuels and this increases greenhouse gas emissions and the impact of climate change on our vulnerable ecosystem, an ecosystem that is the foundation of our society, our economy, and our environment. Nauru imports all of the fossil fuels it uses which is a huge drain of scarce funds and this is not sustainable for the long term development of Nauru. Fortunately, Nauru has the blessings of the sun and installing solar photovoltaic systems can reduce our reliance and expenditure on fossil fuels.

Significantly improving the efficiency of our energy use offers even larger economic benefits and is considered a priority in the long term development strategy of Nauru.

Through the National Sustainable Development Strategy consultative process the Government of Nauru has set three ambitious targets to achieve by 2020. They are:

1. 24/7 grid electricity supply with minimal interruptions

2. 50% of grid electricity supply from renewable energy sources, and

3. 30% improvement in energy efficiency in the residential, commercial and government sectors.

To ensure our social and economic development visions are achieved, Nauru must work together with our regional and international partners to accomplish the outcomes and targets set out under the National Energy Policy Framework and this updated Nauru Energy Road Map.

I call upon every individual, Government institutions, industries, the private sector and the international community to support and contribute to the implementation of Nauru’s Energy Road Map for our sake and for the wellbeing of future generations.

Executive Summary

The Nauru Energy Road Map (NERM) 2014 - 20201 was developed during 2013 and built uponthe energy sector development agenda outlined in the:

• National Sustainable Development Strategy 2005 - 2025 (revised 2009), and

• National Energy Policy Framework of 2009.

The purpose of the Development Strategy and Energy Policy Framework as well as theNERM is to enable the achievement of Nauru’s overall vision of:

A future where individual, community, business and government partnerships contribute toa sustainable quality of life for all Nauruans.

This updated NERM 2018 to 2020 was developed in 2017/18 after a review of the NERM2014 - 2020, consultations in Nauru on implementation progress to 2017 and is based on theoriginal document. The key changes include renaming the Action Plans, reducing the number of Activities to be implemented, ordering the Activities by Lead Agency and Time Frame, as wellas revising wording for some of the Activities and Expected Results.

Nauru imports all of the fossil fuel it consumes. This is a significant component of the amount ofmoney leaving Nauru each year. This annual cost is also volatile due to its dependence onglobal oil prices. Recent figures on fuel demand are shown below.

The NERM is the implementation plan for Activities to facilitate Nauru’s energy sectordevelopment agenda. The main targets of the NERM 2014 - 2020 were that by 2020,Nauru would have:

i) 24/7 grid electricity supply with minimal interruptions.

ii) 50% of grid electricity supplied from renewable energy sources.

iii) 30% improvement in energy efficiency in the residential, commercial and government sectors.

These targets are fairly broad and they haven’t been revised for this updated NERM. How they could be interpreted and measured is discussed in Section 8 Monitoring and Evaluation.

The outcomes the NERM 2014 - 2020 aimed to achieve were:

• A reliable, affordable and safe power supply and services.

• A reliable and safe supply of fossil fuels.

• Universal access to reliable and affordable energy services.

• An efficient supply and use of energy.

• A significant contribution from renewable energy towards electricity supply.

• Financial sustainability of the energy sector.

• Efficient, robust and well-resourced institutions for energy planning and implementation.

These outcomes remain the same for this updated NERM.

This updated NERM renames the six Actions Plans as follows:

• Capacity,

• Power,

• Renewables,

• Efficiency,

• Fuels, and

• Transport.

Each Action Plan has a range of Strategies. Each Strategy has multiple Activities with a variety of Lead Agencies. The NERM 2014 - 2020 listed its 110 Activities by Action Plan and Strategy.

For this updated NERM, the Activities have been listed by Lead Agency and Time Frame.Activities reported as complete and no longer a priority are provided in the Appendices.

This updated NERM has also refined the monitoring indicators to assist with progressassessments and reporting.

Acknowledgements

This updated NERM 2018 to 2020 is a publication of the Government of Nauru (GoN).

The development of the updated NERM 2018 to 2020 was facilitated by ITP Renewables andsupported by the UNDP via the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs andTrade funded UNDP Regional Programme Activities.

In addition, numerous stakeholders contributed to this update including:

• Nauru, (CIE, NUC, DoF, DoA, DoE, DoJ, DoT, NRC, RONPHOS, Eigugu Energy, Bureau of Statistics), and

• international, (ADB, PPA, Australian High Commission, NZ MFAT, GIZ, SPREP, Vital Energy and IRENA).


1. Nauru Overview

Nauru is one of the world’s smallest countries and one of the most remote. Total land area is21km2.In 2016, the World Bank estimated a population of about 13,050 people. Nauru’s currencyis the Australian Dollar (AUD) and the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2016 wasapproximately $10,500 per year2.

Nauru faces economic, environmental and social challenges. Aid is an essential source offunding for Nauru’s development including implementation of the NERM.

Nauru’s National Sustainability Development Strategy 2005 - 2025 (NSDS) outlinesthe long-term plan for Nauru’s development. It was revised in 2009 and reviewed and updatedagain in 2017/18.

The Nauru Energy Policy Framework3 (NEPF) was endorsed by the Government of Nauru(GoN) in 2009. The NEPF outlines a policy framework that builds on the energy prioritiesoutlined in the NSDS.

Further background on Nauru’s energy sector is provided in Appendix A.

2. Government of Nauru’s Energy Vision

Nauru’s energy vision is documented in the energy sector goals of the NSDS:

‘Provide a reliable, affordable, secure and sustainable energy supply to meet thesocio economic development needs of Nauru.’

3. Energy Outcomes

The energy sector outcomes for the NERM are outlined in the NEPF.

The outcomes are:

1. A reliable, affordable and safe power supply and services.

2. A reliable and safe supply of fossil fuels.

3. Universal access to reliable and affordable energy services. 4. An efficient supply and use of energy.

5. A significant contribution from renewable energy towards electricity supply.

6. Financial sustainability of the energy sector.

7. Efficient, robust and well-resourced institutions for energy planning and Wimplementation.

These outcomes are fairly broad and have not been changed for the updated NERM.

4. NERM Targets

The NERM 2014 - 2020 was the implementation plan for the NSDS and NEPF and its originaltargets for 2020 were:




These targets are fairly broad. They haven’t been revised for this updated NERM, but howthey could be interpreted, measured and reported is discussed in Section 8 Monitoring andEvaluation.

To make progress towards these targets, the NERM 2014 - 2020 had six Action Plans and19 Strategies. Each Strategy had a range of Activities and the allocation of Lead Agenciesto the Activities is shown in the following table.

5. Action Plans

This updated NERM renames and reorders the six Action Plans. They are listed below with theirPolicy Statement and Strategies from the NERM 2014 - 2020.

Capacity: Efficient, robust and well-resourced institutions for energy planning and implementation.

1. Establish appropriate policies, regulations and legislation for the energy sector.

2. Facilitate development of appropriate local skill base to meet ongoing demand in energy sector.

3. Improve governance and accountability in the energy sector.

4. Foster a culture of partnerships between public and private sectors including the community.

Power: A reliable, affordable and safe electrical power supply and services.

1. Upgrade assets.

2. Improve planning and management.

3. Improve supply-side energy efficiency.

4. Move toward full recovery of operating and maintenance costs.

5. Develop and safeguard NUC staff.

Renewables: 50% of electricity used in Nauru comes from renewable energy sources by 2020.

1. Phased implementation of large-scale solar.

2. Investigation and implementation of other renewable energy sources. 3. Build in-country capacity to operate and maintain solar PV systems.

Efficiency: An efficient supply and use of energy.

1. Data collection and analysis for preparation for Demand Side Management implementation. 2. Implementation of demand side energy efficiency.

3. Introduction of energy labelling and Minimum Energy Performance Standards.

Fuels: A reliable and safe supply of fossil fuels.

1. Establish an economically efficient, secure and safe National Fuel Terminal and fuel supply.

2. Investigate ways to reduce use or find alternatives to liquid fuels.

Transport: Policy to be developed as part of road map implementation.

1. Implementation of energy efficiency in transport.

2. Investigate substitutes to diesel and petrol for transport.

NERM 2018 to 202010 PAGE Jan 2018

For this update of the NERM, the Activities have been given unique identifiers based on their Action Plan and Strategy. For example, the first Activity in Strategy 1 of the Capacity ActionPlan is numbered C1.1.

6. Activities by Lead Agency

For this updated NERM, the information in the Action Plan tables has been reorderedby Lead Agency and forecast Time Frame.

Other key changes include the following:

• The Activity Importance column has been deleted as the three categories of Very High, High and Medium were considered to not be essential for implementation.

• The forecast Time Frame column has been updated and revised to calendar year quarters, (Q1 = January to March).

• Two additional columns have been added to the Activities table:

- Funding source - to allow for the source of the Estimated Budget to be documented, if known. Dept refers to Departmental Budget and Aid refers to a, yet to be specified, aid funder.

- Notes - to provide further context, if available.

This information, for still relevant Activities, is presented in the following tables for CIE andNUC.

Activities where stakeholders indicated that the Activity:

• was completed, are listed in Appendix B. The NERM 2014 - 2020 had only four Activities that weren’t led by CIE or NUC. These were all reported as complete, so they are listed in Appendix B.

• was no longer a priority, are listed in Appendix C.

In addition, some similar and synergistic Activities have been merged. This new format for the Action Plans still allows for Activities to be linked back to theirAction Plan and Strategy through their identifying number. However, ordering by Lead Agency and forecast Time Frame is considered to be more user-friendly for planning, resourcing and implementation.

7. Implementation

This section provides further discussion of some of CIE’s Activities with the aim of assisting withtheir preparation and implementation.

7.1 Energy and Transport Database

Activity T1.9 is ‘Establish a data collection system for energy and transport data (related to other databases as appropriate).’ This Activity has an estimated, CIE Departmental budget of $30,000.

Setting up a spreadsheet to store key energy data and the NERM monitoring indicators is notexpected to be expensive. However, maintaining and populating this spreadsheet with keyhistorical data and ongoing data is expected to take resources and time. Improved data trackingwill assist in making CIE’s Annual Reports more informative.

7.2 Grid-connect PV Standards, Regulations and Guidelines

Activity C1.6 is ‘Investigate options, develop and implement a framework for private sector(IPPs, businesses and residences) renewable energy grid-connection and relevant supporting instruments (e.g. net-metering).’

The installation, metering and billing requirements for rooftop PV systems need to be clearlyspecified and published. A consultant could be engaged to review NUC’s draft requirements forrooftop PV systems. The PV requirements need to be published on a website and be easy to understand as well as easy to find.

Several Pacific Island utilities have published Regulations and Guidelines for rooftop PVsystems. Further information is available from the Pacific Power Association and otherwebsites. For example, a useful document for installations is the Grid-connected PV Systems Installation Guidelines for the Pacific Islands published on SEIAPI’s website4. SEIAPI also hasprepared guidelines for the design of grid-connected solar PV systems.

IPPs usually refers to Independent Power Producers selling electricity to utilities from a ground mounted, large PV system through a Power Purchase Agreement. This is not seen as a prioritydue to the relatively, small size of Nauru’s load and the need for complex, grid-integrationcomponents for any further, large solar PV systems in Nauru.

In 2018, as part of the GoN’s (UNDP/GIZ/EU supported), Enabling the Implementation of theNauru Energy Road Map project, a review and update of the draft NUC Power System Rulesand Regulations, including drafting sections related to embedded renewable generation, will be undertaken. This will also include a review of existing, relevant technical international andregional standards for solar PV and their relevance to the technical standards and requirementsfor Nauru. This Activity has synergies with C1.1 ‘Develop a legislative and governanceframework for the energy sector.’

7.3 Training Strategy

Activity C2.1 is, ‘Assess training needs and develop appropriate training strategy for secondaryand primary school teachers, managers, small businesses, technicians, tradespeople, etc.’This Activity has an estimated budget of $30,000.

4 http://seiapi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/GRID-CONNECTED-PV-SYSTEM-INSTALLATION-GUIDELINES.pdf

NERM 2018 to 202022 PAGE Jan 2018

If funding can be secured, this Activity could be implemented by commissioning a specialisttraining consultant to develop the strategy and associated training materials as well as publishit on an appropriate website. The Nauru Training Needs and Gap Analysis5 was undertakenin 2015/16. It provides useful background information for developing the Training Strategy and contains two recommendations for climate change/disaster risk reduction training as well as onefor sustainable energy and energy efficiency training. This Activity could be combined with other Activities developing curriculum and building capacity and resources in the training sector.

7.4 Energy Act

Activity C1.1 is ‘Develop a legislative and governance framework for the energy sector.’This Activity has an estimated budget of $100,000.

A specialist legal consultant could be engaged to consult with stakeholders and draft a possible Energy Act or a suite of Acts to clarify roles and implement Nauru’s energy development agenda. Funds for providing preliminary technical input towards preparation of energy sector legislation are likely to be available in 2018 as part of the GoN’s (UNDP/GIZ/EU supported)Enabling the Implementation of the Nauru Energy Road Map. In 2017, there appears to be several entities with responsibilities in the energy sector. These responsibilities do not appear to all be legally mandated.

The 2017 consultations and previous analysis indicates the following agencies and their keyenergy sector roles:

i) Department of Finance (DoF), including the Planning and Aid Division (PAD), allocates annual budgets, provides oversight of the NSDS, regulates prices for fuel,and coordinates development assistance, (NERM 2014 - 2020).

ii) CIE, carries out energy policy and planning functions, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation policy, (NERM 2014 - 2020).

iii) NUC is the sole provider of grid electricity and water, (NUC ACT 20116).

iv) Vital Energy procures fuel and manages the fuel tank farm, (Petroleum Supply and Facility Management Agreement7). v) Department of Transport, regulates the transport sector (NERM 2014 - 2020).

The NUC Act 2011 states the legal obligations of the utility for water and fuel. The NUCRegulations 20128 came into force on 18 October 2012. These Regulations are only 8 pageslong and are limited to the Advisory Committee and Recovery of Fees from Post-paidCustomers.

5 http://prdrse4all.spc.int/sites/default/files/nauru_0.pdf

6 The Nauru Utilities Corporation Act 2011 describes the functions of the corporation, see http://ronlaw. gov.nr/nauru_lpms/index.php/act/view/799

7 The Agreement between GoN and Vital Energy is commercial in-confidence but was executed in June 2015. The BackgroundWsection indicates that procuring fuel was part of the Request for Tender.

8 The NUC Regulations 2012 are provided at a separate part of the RONLAW website: http://ronlaw. gov.nr/nauru_lpms/index.php/subordinate_legislation/view/526

NERM 2018 to 2020 PAGE 23Jan 2018

The NUC Act was amended in 2016 to create a Board of Directors for NUC. There is also the draft document titled, ‘NUC Power System Rules and Regulations’ that is being updated andexpanded in Activity C1.6.

Page 23 of the NERM 2014 - 2020 states, ‘A legislative framework is required which provides for an appropriate governance regime including consideration of an overarching Energy Act.Having the appropriate legislation in place will be essential in improving the performance of theenergy sector. The legislation should also promote and encourage active participation of theprivate sector and civil society.’

of the NERM 2014 - 2020 NERM states, ‘There is no independent energy regulator inNauru, as this would not be a cost-effective option given the size of the country.’

Page 67 of the NERM 2014 - 2020 states, ‘National energy legislation will be important infacilitating NERM implementation and in enabling good governance requirements to be met.Thus development and adoption of national energy legislation is essential for the success of theNERM implementation and overall development of the energy sector. Energy legislation shoulddefine the role of the government, in terms of planning, developing, and coordinating energyinitiatives, energy sector regulation and creating a market where private sector and community stakeholders can engage effectively, for example, by the introduction of net-metering.’

In addition, there is no legislation in place to regulate the importation of energy consumingappliances. An Energy Act may provide an opportunity to clarify responsibilities, improvegovernance and reporting as well as implement Activities involving regulations. Several of theNERM Activities are likely to require a legal framework to be fully implemented.

7.5 Energy Audits for Hotels, Commercial Buildings, RONPHOS and NRC offices

Activity E1.3 is ‘Undertake energy surveys/audits of hotels and commercial buildings.’ ThisActivity has a revised, estimated budget of $30,000 from unspecified aid funding.

Page 51 of the NERM 2014 - 2020 states, ‘However the usage patterns of commercial entitiesare quite different from those of residences and surveys/energy audits will need to be carriedout to determine energy use patterns. Unfortunately, the experience in other Pacific countrieshas been that energy audits of commercial entities often do not result in significant investmentin energy efficiency measures by the audited businesses.

Therefore, audits should be provided only to businesses that specifically state their intent tofollow through with actual investments that are determined to have a payback that is less than apre-agreed upon time period. RONPHOS and NRC offices should also be targeted as these aresome of the bigger office spaces and also these are state-owned enterprises. It may bereasonable for a nominal fee to be charged to businesses, RONPHOS and NRC for the audit if reasonable measures for efficiency improvement are found to be cost effective but noinvestment results from the audit report.’

If $30,000 of aid funding is secured, it may be sufficient for a basic energy audit of several sites depending on how it is procured. An approach could be to request energy audit consultants toundertake Type 1 Energy Audit9 assessments of six of the most energy intensive sites and trainlocal staff in energy efficiency assessments.

9 For a definition, see: https://www.energy.gov.au/business/conduct-energy-assessment

NERM 2018 to 202024 PAGE Jan 2018

7.6 Import Duties

Activity C1.5 is ‘Review of regulatory or policy barriers (e.g. import duties) to efficiency andrenewable investments.’ This Activity has an estimated budget of $20,000 from unspecified, aidfunding.

This Activity could be implemented with the Energy Audit assessments to request theconsultants to develop a list of products and energy specifications for the GoN to considerimport duty reductions.

Research on existing import duties for efficiency and renewable investments would be useful background. The Marshall Islands’, Fiji’s and other Pacific Island Countries’ efforts at reducingimport duties10 could be examined for relevance to Nauru.

7.7 MEPS and Energy Labelling Information

Activity E3.3 is, ‘Carry out awareness raising on Minimum Energy Performance Standards(MEPS) and labelling to communities, businesses and government.’ This Activity has anestimated budget of $60,000.

If aid funding can be secured, this Activity could be implemented by commissioning a specialist communications consultant to upgrade NUC’s website, publish MEPS and energy labelling information online and hardcopy and promote this information through local partners.

As an alternative, CIE could consider developing an Energy Information website and brochuresto make available information for people seeking to reduce their energy bills. A variety of public engagement could be used to promote the website and the brochures.

There is also the Pacific Appliance Labelling and Standards (PALS) Program11 which supports establishment of Australian/New Zealand based MEPS and labelling in Pacific Island Countries.Nauru could consider joining this SPC run initiative.

Considering MEPS and energy labelling of appliances is to be compulsory, most stakeholdersare likely to notice energy labelling when browsing shops selling labelled appliances. Thus thisActivity is to focus on the understanding of the financial implications of MEPS and energylabelling which may require information brochures to be printed and made available at all pointsof sale. Further information on the Australian Government’s approach is available from theirEnergy Rating website12.

7.8 Efficiency Financing Options

Activity E1.5 is ‘Assess feasibility of efficiency technologies, including cost benefit analysis and develop relevant financing options for end users to make efficiency investments which arecompatible with local institutional and financing structures.’ This Activity has an estimatedbudget of $40,000 from an unspecified, aid funder.

10 Further information available from: https://policy.asiapacificenergy.org/node/2869, and http://www.frcs.org.fj/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2016-2017-Incentives13OCT2016.p df

12 http://www.energyrating.gov.au/about/what-we-do/labelling

NERM 2018 to 2020 PAGE 25Jan 2018

If the funding is secured, discussions could be held with the local bank on their interest inproviding low-interest loans for efficiency investments with support from the GoN. The fundingcould be used to assist with negotiating the contractual terms and supporting the initial loans.

While low-interest loans appear to be an effective way of accelerating energy efficiencyinvestments, they often have low take up rates for a variety of reasons. However, they can be away for low income households to improve uptake of cost-effective, energy upgrades.

In addition, with support from the IUCN/UNEP/GEF Low Carbon Islands project, a Low CarbonFund (LCF) was launched in January 2017. The LCF provides an incentive for the private sector(businesses and households) to switch towards energy efficient washing machines, fridges, and freezers. Specifically, the LCF provides a 30% capital subsidy when buying new efficientappliances. Further information on this is available from the Low Carbon Islands website13.

7.9 Annual Transport Cost Information

Activity T1.8 is, ‘Design and implement awareness campaign to communities on energyefficiency in transport.’ This Activity has an estimated budget of $10,000 Departmental.

With petrol being more than $2 per litre, the community already has a strong incentive to beenergy efficient with their transport needs. However, the generally short distances travelled maymean the annual costs are not fully appreciated.

CIE could develop online and brochure information materials discussing the annual costs oftravelling an appropriate distance, say 5,000 kms, with a variety of transport options, includingthe bus and electric vehicles. In addition, this information could include updates on the duties for importing vehicles depending on their fuel efficiency.

This Activity could also be combined with T2.1 ‘Study the feasibility of LPG, hybrid and electric(powered by renewable electricity) vehicles, including buses.’

Collecting other countries’ transport information may provide useful background for progressing this Activity, for example the Green Vehicle Guide website14.

8. Monitoring and Evaluation

The main targets of the NERM 2014 - 2020 were that by 2020, Nauru would have:




While some of these targets are fairly broad, they haven’t been revised for this updated NERM.

To allow for progress to be monitored, the following indicators (and data sources) could bereported on:

i) Annual period of interruptions reported in hours (NUC Annual Reports).

ii) The per cent annual GWh of electricity generated from renewable energy sources compared to the total GWh generated (NUC Annual Reports).

iii) Nauru’s annual GDP $/GJ of imported energy consumed (CIE Annual Reports). In addition, the electricity consumption for each sector could be reported on an estimated GJ/m2 floor area basis.

The first and second monitoring indicators are from the NERM 2014 - 2020 and have beenslightly reworded for clarity. The third monitoring indicator is new as the NERM 2014 - 2020 hadthe efficiency indicator as ‘to be developed’. If the NERM targets are updated by the GoN,consideration could be given to refining the targets to be consistent with financial year reporting, providing more detailed monitoring methodologies as well as documenting data sources andwhere indicators are to be published.

These and other monitoring indicators, associated baselines and proposed targets are providedin the following Monitoring Plan table. The Notes column indicates if the Monitoring indicator isnew or a more than minor revision of the NERM 2014 - 2020 Monitoring Indicator.

NERM 2018 to 2020 PAGE 31Jan 2018

Dividing the total annual fuel imports by the estimated population, it is equivalent to almost 2,000 litres per person per year. While much of this consumption is not paid for by individuals, this per person figure does illustrate Nauru’s heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels.This illustrates the many challenges to improving sustainability and realising Nauru’s energy vision of:‘Provide a reliable, affordable, secure and sustainable energy supply to meet the socio economic development needs of Nauru.’Energy PoliciesA number of strategies, policies and legislation relevant to the energy sector have been introduced by the Government of Nauru. These include:

• National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) 2005 - 2025,

• Nauru’s Utility Sector - A Strategy for Reform,

• National Energy Policy Framework (NEPF),

• National Energy Road Map 2014 - 2020,

• Nauru Utilities Corporation Act (2011 and Amended 2016),

• Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) under the UNFCCC, and

• Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management Framework (RONAdapt).

Thus, there isn’t a lack of energy strategies and policies. Where Nauru could improve is in the areas of capacity and resources for implementation, reporting, legislation and enforcement. As the 2015 Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) states, ‘A number of development strategies and policy instruments as a response to climate change have been introduced by the Government since 2005 ’ and ‘However, Nauru’s accomplishment remains on paper and itwould require the necessary means of implementation through finance, capacity building and technology development and transfer to achieve tangible outcomes’.

An overview of three of the key energy sector components of Nauru’s energy developmentagenda follows.

Intended Nationally Determined Contribution

The Republic of Nauru is fully committed to supporting successful outcomes from the annual Conference of the Parties (CoP) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Government of Nauru submitted its INDC15 in November 2015. This document states that Nauru’s INDC hinges on its:

• NSDS 2005 - 2025, revised 2009,

• NERM 2014 - 2020,

• Second National Communication (SNC), submitted 2015, and

• RONAdapt.

NERM 2018 to 202032 PAGE Jan 2018

Appendix A: Energy sector overview

Nauru is located just south of the equator and 1,287 km west of the International Date Line. It’sthe smallest state in the Pacific with an area of around 21km2 and a population of about 13,050people.

The Department of Commerce, Industry and Environment (CIE) carries out energy policy andplanning functions, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation policy,(NERM 2014 - 2020). Other agencies with energy sector responsibilities include Department ofTransport (DoT) and Department of Finance (DoF), the latter who manages the Government ofNauru contract with Vital Energy for fuel supply and storage.

The Nauru Utility Corporation (NUC) is the government-owned utility responsible for publicelectricity and water. Vital Energy operates the fuel tank farm and is responsible for provision offuel, (diesel, petrol and kerosene). LPG is sold by separate, private importers.

NUC’s main powerhouse is located in Aiwo. In 2016, it had eight diesel generators in variousstates of operational capacity. During 2017, NUC installed and commissioned two new,3.564 kVA generators.

Generation was reported as 31.7 GWh in financial year 2015/16 with sales at only 20 GWh. TheNUC Annual Report 2016 documents Losses at 35% with Unaccounted Energy 37% andElectricity Loss 35%. The methodology for calculating these Key Performance Indicators is notdocumented. However, it does illustrate the need to increase efforts to reduce unmetered loadsand network losses as well as improve power factors and transparency on this issue. More than9.15 million litres of diesel and 80,000 litres of oil was consumed, (diesel generation only~3.4 kWh / litre after power station use). The distribution system is a ring main and includes11kV, 3.3kV and 415V sections.

The phosphate company, RONPHOS generates its own industrial power. The Australian Government’s Regional Processing Centres and the new jail generate their own power. The new, 11kV transmission line through the centre of the island, planned to be built in 2018, isexpected to connect these loads to the main-grid. This is expected to significantly increase the annual electricity consumption.

Nauru imports all of the fossil fuels it consumes. This is a significant component of the amount of money leaving Nauru each year which is also volatile due to its dependence on global oil prices. Recent figures on fuel imports and the Government of Nauru’s (GoN) excise are shown below.

Information on Compliance Integrity Program, Through Put Fee and Mooring Through Put Fee levies also provided by DoF and utilised to estimate sectors’ total levies and the GoN annual income.

The Energy section of the NSDS has the following Strategies:

‘Implement National Energy Policy Framework (NEPF) addressing:

i) cost effective, secure and sustainable procurement and supply of fuel,

ii) reliable and efficient energy supply and distribution,

iii) management of demand focussing on consumption efficiency and conservation, and

iv) increased use of renewable energy and other alternative forms of energy.’

There are some milestones associated with these strategies but they are mostly open tointerpretation due to the lack of specific baselines. The NSDS originally set a goal of meeting50% of Nauru’s energy needs through renewable energy by 2015, which has been revised to2020.

The 2017 review of the NSDS is expected to refine the performance targets and indicators tomore specific outputs.

National Energy Policy Framework

The Nauru National Energy Policy Framework (NEPF) aimed to provide a guideline for thedevelopment of the energy sector in Nauru for the immediate future and mid and long term. It is dated May 2009 and is 24 pages.

The NEPF is driven by its vision statement:

‘Reliable, affordable and sustainable energy, enabling the socio-economic development of Nauru.’

The NEPF identified seven strategic policy areas as critical to achieving the overall vision of theNEPF. These policy areas are listed below.

1. Power – a reliable, affordable and safe power supply and services.

2. Petrol – a reliable and safe supply of fossil fuels.

3. Renewables – 50% of energy used in Nauru comes from renewable sources by 2015.

4. Customers – universal access to reliable and affordable energy services.

5. Finance – financial sustainability of the energy sector.

6. Institutional – efficient, robust and well-resourced institutions for energy planning and implementation.

7. Efficiency – an efficient supply and use of energy.

Each policy area has a range of strategies that all appear reasonable, However, their level of implementation since publication of the NEPF is variable. This highlights the importance ofclearly describing funding sources, tasks and responsibilities as well as monitoring indicatorsand their methodologies in future planning documents.

NERM 2018 to 202034 PAGE Jan 2018

The INDC also states, ‘The main mitigation contribution is to achieve the outcomes and targets under the National Energy Road Map (NERM), NSDS and recommendations under the SNCand is conditional on receiving adequate funding and resources.’

National Sustainable Development Strategy

The National Sustainable Development Strategy 2005 - 2025 (NSDS) outlines Nauru’s energy vision as:

‘Provide a reliable, affordable, secure and sustainable energy supply to meet the socio economic development needs of Nauru.’

The NSDS16 is 90 pages and was revised in 2009. It is also being reviewed and updated in 2017/18. The NSDS illustrates the national level policy development and implementationframework as per the following figure.

This figure highlights the importance of Department Operational Plans. Another figure in the NSDS on monitoring policy implementation highlights the importance of Department AnnualReports.
