14Regional Energy Projects
Project Pacific Islands Renewable Energy Project
(PIREP) Focus To facilitate the promotion within
the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) of the
widespread implementation and ultimately,
commercialization of renewable energy (RE)
technologies (RETs) through the establishment of
a suitable enabling environment. Key Partners
PICs, SPREP, UNDP

Strategic Action Planning (PIEPSAP) Focus
Assist with the development of national energy
policies, strategic action plans, and practical
mechanisms to implement these in the 14
participating Pacific Island Countries Key
Partners PICs, Danish Government, SOPAC, UNDP
16Regional Energy Projects
- Hard Pipeline Project Pacific Islands Greenhouse
Gas Abatement through Renewable Energy Project
(PIGGAREP) - Focus To reduce the growth rate of GHG emissions
from fossil fuel use in the Pacific Island
Countries (PICs) through the widespread and cost
effective use of their renewable energy (RE)
resources. It consists of various activities
whose outputs will contribute to the removal of
the major barriers to the widespread utilization
of RE technologies (RETs). - Key Partners PICs, SPREP and UNDP
17Key Recommendations to REP-PoR
- To use existing mechanisms for national and
regional collaborations and consultations - To support practical on the ground interventions
- To complement on-going and hard pipeline energy
interventions and programmes
