The KIER is Kiribati's comprehensive energy roadmap, which takes into account renewable energy and energy efficiency potential in all sectors from 2017 to 2025. The findings of this roadmap show that power sector is a key area, where the ongoing efforts from the deployment of solar PV should be continued and complemented with and improvement of efficiency in Kiribati’s entire energy system, including electricity use, heating, cooling, and transport.

The Nauru Energy Road Map (NERM) 2014 - 2020 was developed in 2013-14. This report reviews this document and its implementation to 2017 with the aim of facilitating feedback to inform the development of the updated NERM 2018 to 2020.

Vanuatu’s National Energy Road Map (NERM) was considered and endorsed by the Council of Ministers in 2013. The NERM is the policy framework for developing the

energy sector in Vanuatu.

The NERM identified five priorities for the energy sector: access, petroleum supply, affordability, energy security, and climate change. It set out objectives, targets and actions
to achieve these priorities and contribute to the NERM’s overall vision.

The inaugural meeting of the Steering Committee (SC) of the Pacific Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (PCREEE) was held on 25th April 2017 during the Third Pacific Regional Energy and Transport Ministers’ Meeting  at the Tanoa International Dateline Hotel, Nuku’alofa, Tonga.

 Provided is the final draft  of the minutes captured from the meeting. 

This Study was conducted by Adrian Sammons and Douglas Oldfield as individual consultants, under the guidance and support of the Pacific Infrastructure Advisory Centre (PIAC) in Sydney, Australia.

PIAC operates under the coordination of the Pacific Region Infrastructure Facility (PRIF), a partnership for improved infrastructure in the Pacific Region between the Asian Development Bank, the Australian Agency for International Development, the New Zealand Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Trade and the World Bank Group.

This report originated as part of the Background Paper prepared for the joint IBRD/JBIC/ADB East Asia and the Pacific regional infrastructure study, Connecting East Asia. Many stakeholders expressed interest in understanding more about differences and similarities among Pacific Island countries, how Pacific Island countries compared to other island states in the world, the role infrastructure plays in growth and development in the Pacific Islands region, and in identifying opportunities and obstacles to improving
infrastructure performance.

This report contains the findings, regional and national strategies, and recommendations that constitute the chief results of ADB’s regional technical assistance (RETA) project:Improving the Delivery of Infrastructure Services in the Pacific. The following Volumes comprise the Final Report of the RETA.

The report captures the current efforts of the Asian Development Bank to promote sustainable infrastructure in Asia and the Pacific. We stand ready to work with our partners to find
appropriate solutions to their infrastructure investment needs, and to link them to the expertise and finance they need to address the many challenges ahead.
