Overview

REEEP introduction

Pacific characteristics

Two case studies from the Pacific region:

PMESCOs SEIAPI

Energy virtuous cycle

REEEP was established to accelerate RE/EE focusing ondeveloping and emerging economies

REEEP acts as a market facilitator by reducing market

barriers for renewables and energy efficiency systems

REEEP accelerates market development through afocus on:

policy/regulation development and

improvement

finance and business models

9 million people

30% access to energy

The vulnerability of exposure to high oil prices is fargreater for Pacific Island Countries

The cost of energy provision in the PICs ishigh compared to other economies

Geographic conditions vary widely.

The PICs energy markets are very thin, difficult toserve, and lack economies of scale.

The PICs comprise a wide range of ecosystems,

predominantly influenced by marine systems that make

infrastructure development expensive to establishand maintain and can have significant environmental

impacts.

The cost of energy provision in the PICs ishigh compared to other economies

The PICs have limited capacityto devise and

implement suitable energy policies.

The PICs are exposed to extreme weather events.

The PICs, except PNG, do not have indigenous fossil

fuels resources of note and are heavily reliant on

imported petroleum.

Establishing Micro Energy Service Company

AIM: create a market demand for solar home systems

METHODOLOGY: find an existing entrepreneur thatcould learn to incorporate clean energy technologies

into his business, conduct community consultations &

teach appropriate people about maintenance

KEY TO SUCCESS: have local knowledge & an in-country champion who knows how to inspire peopleand make clean energy to a prospering business

Establishment of theSustainable Energy Industry

Association of the PacificIslands (SEIAPI)

Project outputs:

An active industry association for

sustainable energy industry

companies active in the PICs

Establishment of a certification

scheme for auditors, installers and

designers which will consequently

increase the quality of RE

installations

Project partners:

Global Sustainable Energy Solutions

Pty Ltd (Australia) and Pacific

Islands Greenhouse Gas Abatement

through Renewable Energy Project

(PIGGAREP)
