No systematic wind resource measurements have been carried out in Palau over the years, though they are being planned. Based on measurements made for climate records, it appears unlikely that wind energy can be a significant resource for power generation. However, since wind power is very site-specific, proper assessment is needed. Wind energy measurements using well instrumented 30-metre masts are planned to commence in 2013 and a proper wind map of the main islands should be available by 2015.
Presentation - Energy Efficiency in PIC Government Complexes: Palau and Fiji by Peter Johnston. Presentation made at the PPA 21st Annual Conference in Vanuatu, 2012.
The REP-5 programme “Support to the Energy Sector in 5 Pacific Island States” is a regional initiative being implemented by the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) supported with funding from the 9thEuropean Development Fund (EDF9). The REP-5 programme focuses on renewable energy and demand-side energy efficiency activities. There are five countries participating in the REP-5programme. These are the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Nauru, Niue, Palau and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI).
The Regional Status Report on Efficient Lighting in the Pacific Island Countries and Territories was prepared by George Wilkenfeld and Associates, Energy Policy and Planning consultants, Australia for the Pacific Efficient Lighting Strategy (PELS) Project managed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC).The report covers most of the SPC PICTs and benefitted from surveys and data collected by the Promoting Energy Efficiency in the Pacific – Phase 2 (PEEP 2) Project and the Pacific Appliance Labelling and Standards (PALS) Program.
This report is a publication of the Pacific Power Association (PPA). The report is based upon the 2012 fiscal reporting year relevant to each utility. Presents the results of the 3rd successive annual assessment of Pacific electricity utility performance since the initiative resumed in 2011. Report prepared by PPA with technical support from the Pacific Region Infrastructure Facility (PRIF).
