Record captures Pacific Island Population based on the last population census as well as projectiond/estimates. Estimates and projections of demographic indicators are for selected years. This spreadsheet was last updated in September 2013. Data captured are:
Record captures the environmental quality of the fuel used in the region as of 2009. This is the raw data used for the compilation of the Framework for Action on Energy Security in the Pacific (FAESP) Indicators by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). 2009 is used as the baseline for data compilation. Indicators captured here for the 14 PICs are:
This record captures the regional efficiency and productivity of power use as of 2009. This is the raw data used for the compilation of the Framework for Action on Energy Security in the Pacific (FAESP) Indicators by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). 2009 is used as the baseline for data compilation.
This record holds basic information on the power utilities in the 14 PICs for 2011. Basic information captured are:
1. Installed capacity,
2. Gross generation excluding IPPs
3. Maximum demand
4. Minimum demand
5. Number of customers
6. Number of employees
Record holds regional gross generation by source for the main grid only for the 14 power utilities in the Pacific. Generation provided by source for ADO, heavy fuel oil, hydropower, wind energy, solar PV, biomass & biofuel. Data gives % of renewable energy share in the main grid.
This record captures the electrification rate for selected countries in the Pacific Region. This data is also reflected in the SPC National Minimum Development Indicators (NMDI) - (http://www.spc.int/nmdi/energy ) and was last updated in October 2014. This dataset updates the electrification rate given in the FAESP 2009 indicators as it is based on the most recent census referenced to 2014.
Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2014 is one of the most comprehensive studies yet made on the renewable energy price revolution in the power sector. Its findings are striking. Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in 2014 cost three-quarters less than in 2009, while wind turbine prices declined by almost a third over the same period. The cost of electricity from utility-scale PV systems has fallen by around half since 2010.
This report focuses on the role that national policy makers will play in this transformation process. The main challenge being that there is not a single roadmap or technology that provides the solution. Each country situation is unique, and local solutions need to be found to support the transition towards a renewables-based power system. It is therefore very important that policy makers work together with generators, local system operators and electricity suppliers to collectively design the future.
