REEEP Projects

The Pacific Micro Energy Service Companies (PMESCO) project, a joint project developed by the REEEP and the Secretariat of the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), implemented in the Solomon Islands and Kiribati, was developed to establish a Micro Credit Facility and demonstrate its applicability to provide access to clean, affordable and efficient lighting systems replacing kerosene use. The unique point of this model as applied in the remote areas of the Solomon Islands is that the instalments for the systems are paid by the customers’ produce through a “cash for crops” centre, thus providing access to a banking system in otherwise unserviced areas.

REEEP contribution to the Encyclopedia of Energy 2012

REEEP Southeast Asia and the Pacific Regional Secretariat wrote a series of 10 energy-related articles about various countries located in our region. The project, initiated by Golson Media, invites academic editorial contributors to a new reference work on the role of energy in society. The articles will be published by Salem Press in 2012. This comprehensive encyclopedia will be marketed and sold to high-school, college, public, and academic libraries and includes 4 volumes of approximately 600 articles. Read the articles

DIREC2010 pre-consultation report

REEEP was commissioned by India’s Ministry for New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to undertake a global survey through its network of Regional Secretariats, and thus providing a basis for some of the important discussions that took place at the Delhi International Renewable Energy Conference (DIREC 2010), which took place from 27-29 October 2010 in New Delhi, India.

Hotel sector energy efficiency in Fiji

In Fiji, where tourism is the largest industry, there is strong potential for a sectoral approach that coordinates the efforts of all major tourism stakeholders to achieve collective energy savings and to reduce costs. In addition, reducing greenhouse gas emissions with technologies consistent with current CDM methodologies can open the carbon trading markets to hotels. This sectoral approach can complement the energy efficiency legislation on domestic appliances that is expected to be introduced by the Fijian Government. Read more about the project

Pacific Renewable Energy Microfinance (PREM)

The purpose of the PREM is to complete a market needs and environmental assessment for renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) products and services in Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu and Tonga, in order to build the commitment and interest of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in funding RE/EE projects.

REEEP WIREC Asia report
In February 2008, REEEP was asked by the US State Department to carry out three regional consultations to provide regional feedback to the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC 2008) Ministerial Meeting. REEEP presented a renewable energy policy analysis report at the Prime Ministers Meeting on the final day of WIREC 2008. The report focused on what it would take to rapidly expand renewable energy deployment in China, India and the South East Asia and the Pacific regions. Click Here to View the Report
