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.

Indonesia energy efficient lighting and waste-to-energy project at a local government level. It builds upon the previous REEEP Indonesia Kemitraan Project for Local Government Energy Efficiency.

Review of Micro Credit Delivery Mechanisms for Clean Energy Projects in the Pacific Region. The report compares two REEEP microfinance approaches to delivering clean energy as well as a number of global PV reviews. 

End-use energy efficiency strategy for the Pacific region
The Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts tasked REEEP to develop a high-level long-term regional strategy for end-use energy efficiency programmes and projects in the Pacific region for the Pacific Regional Infrastructure Facility (PRIF). 

Kerosene replacement project
Through the Pacific Renewable Energy Kerosene Replacement project in PNG and Vanuatu, REEEP developed a strategy to transfer existing kerosene expenditure towards new investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. REEEP has supported an Australian Company, Barefoot Power, to develop innovative models to deploy appropriate technologies. Download the factsheet
 

Microfinance guide for lighting by REEEP & Barefoot Power
“Modern Lighting for Microfinance Clients around the Globe” elaborates on the link between microfinance and renewable energy outlining strategies on how to come off kerosene, applicable worldwide with a specific section for the Pacific. Read More...

Comparative Guide with 50 ways to end kerosene lighting
This Comparative Guide shows many different technologies that can be used to eliminate kerosene lighting from households in developing countries. 1.6 billion people still use kerosene lighting, spending US$10-30 billion per year, or an average of about $1 per week. Read More...

Australia's assistance to China's earthquake recovery
REEEP completed a strategic project, funded by the Australian Government, examining the application of renewable energy technologies in disaster relief for sustainable building design, in particular to Australia’s assistance to China’s earthquake recovery in Sichuan.

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
