Tokelau

This compendium showcases programmes and projects from across the Pacific region that address climate change and disaster risks, through climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk management (DRM) and/or greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

These forty case studies cover different topics across Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) and showcase significant work undertaken by the region to address climate and disaster-related challenges and to build resilience.

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.

Training Announcement regarding the Pacific Energy Regulators Study Tour and Training held in Tonga, August 2016. 

Tokelau National Report on an assessment of the key energy issues, barriers to the development of renewable energy to mitigate climate change, and capacity development needs for removing the barriers. Report produced under the Pacific Islands Renewable Energy Project (PIREP), a SPREP, GEF and UNDP partnership. 

Tokelau renewable energy project case study. This case study provides a technical description of the three PV systems, as well as a cost breakdown of the Tokelau project. 

Report was prepared on the Infrastructure Priorities for Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The primary objective is to identify local priorities for infrastructure development on each of the atolls of Tokelau, taking into account the Tokelau Development Plans and NZODA principles and policies. To assess each of the possible infrastructure development identified and draw conclusions about their technical feasibility, economic viability and contribution to economic development, and social and environmental impact.

This report was prepared by Empower Consultants for UNDP. Report on feasibility, environmental impact assessment, overall system design and specifications and financing strategy. 

This study builds further on the renewable energy work already done on Tokelau. 

This report was prepared by Gerhard Zieroth for the UNDP/ UNESCO. The specific objective of this EIA is to provide the decision makers in Tokelau with an account of the environmental implications of the proposed PV project and identify, describe and recommend feasible mitigation measures for minimizing, eliminating or offsetting unavoidable adverse effects from the current, diesel based Tokelau Power Project.

This report was prepared by Gerhard Zieroth for the UNDP/ UNESCO. The present study evaluates the technical, economical, financial and institutional feasibility of grid-connected photovoltaic power generation for the islands of Tokelau. It compares various options and identifies a solution that shows the best Economic Rate of Return. It also defines the hardware requirements for the system configuration preferred by Tokelau Power Systems (TPS).
