INTERNATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY
AGENCY
IRENA Renewables Readiness AssessmentComparative Analysis
Silia Kilepoa Ualesi Suva, Fiji Islands 13 November 2015
Objective: Comprehensive review of renewable energy development to improve
understanding of the national energy sector Identification and analysis of key issues associated with the deployment
of RE Present the opportunities for scaling up renewable energy development Discuss the specific issues to be addressed, and prepare specific policy
recommendations Produce a portfolio of actionable initiatives to be developed
Status: Completed SIDS: Kiribati, Grenada, Fiji, RMI, Vanuatu
Renewables Readiness Assessments

Renewables Readiness Assessment
• Kiribati• RMI• Fiji• Vanuatu
3
Focus Areas:
1. Policy, Legislation, Regulation and Capacity Building to support RE Development
2. Renewables for Rural Electrification3. Grid Integration of Renewables4. Grid Connected RE (Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Hydro)5. CNO for Power Generation and Transport
4
Kiribati1. Policy, legislation and regulation development to support
renewable energyNECC, Review Energy Act, KSEC business model review
2. Off-grid electrification including KiritimatiRE plan, Standards for solar, CB at KIT, Rehab of outer islands installations, ISP for KSEC, Private sector involvement
3. Grid Connected REStandards and guidelines, Privately owned GC solar PV, Capacity building for grid management
4. Grid Integration of REMaintain the stability of the grid while allowing a high level of solar PV input (grid stability)
5. CNO for power generation and transportDevelop Coconut Oil (CNO) as a biofuel for power generationCNO implementation plan, Fuel standards, testing facility, Mobile copra mills, PUB genset design CNOUse CNO as a land and sea transport fuel
Trial shipboard use of CNO , Trials of blends of CNO & kerosene or diesel fuel for land transport
5
Marshall Islands1. Policy, Regulation, Legislation and Capacity Building Legislative review and institutional improvement
Review legislative act, Working committee for energy coordination
2. RE for Rural ElectrificationApply a customised approach to develop a solution for sustainable Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Remedial plan for O&M, ISP for long term rural
electrification, Training programmes on Design & installation of off-grid installations
3. Grid Connected RE standardised technical design & installation,
Finance schemes, Capacity building4. Replace diesel with Coconut Oil
On site CNO production capacity6
Fiji 1. Policy, Regulation, Legislation and Capacity BuildingStrengthen Institutional development and Legislation NEP endorsement, Enabling
environment, RE Investors Association, Rural Electricity Master plan
2. Grid Connected Renewables Exploration and Exploitation of
Geothermal energy for grid electricity supply
7
Vanuatu1. Policy, Regulation, Legislation and Capacity Building
Effective implementation of NERM: policy review and development partner coordination Review Roadmap, Facilitate coordination development
partners
2. RE for Rural Electrification Institutional approach SHS, Standard designs for
SHS and mini grids, Capacity for OG solar, Strategy for rural access to electricity, Off-Grid electricity market study for tourism
3. Grid Integration of Renewables Grid stability
4. Grid Connected Renewables Standards, Training and capacity building, Finance
for private sectors installation of Grid Connected RE8
RRA Summary1. Policy, Legislation, Regulation and Capacity Building to support RE
Development: Both Kiribati and RMI wants to establish a National Energy Coordinating Committee. Kiribati, RMI and Vanuatu wants their existing policies and legislations reviewed.
2. RE for Rural electrification, only country specific recommendations3. Grid Integration of Renewables – Kiribati, RMI and Vanuatu wants to have a grid
stability study carried out. RMI has completed this study and was carried out by Japan.4. Grid Connected RE (Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Hydro): Fiji and Vanuatu have the
potential to develop geothermal. Kiribati, RMI and Vanuatu recommends appropriate standards and guidelines, technical capacity building and training on grid connected PV; RMI & Vanuatu recommends financing schemes and participation for privately owned systems.
5. Coconut Oil for Power Generation and Transport: RMI wants to explore Coconut Oil to be used for power generation. Kiribati wants to explore CNO for both power generation and transport.

EXPECTED RESULTS
• Effective implementation of RE roadmaps in the four countries,
• Clear and effective policies and legislations, • Enhanced capacity to plan, design and deploy RE.• Stimulate interest and increase investment in RE• Increased RE share in electricity mix• Streamlined donor support in RE deployment
Overall result would be achieving the national RE targets
10
CONCLUSIONS & WAY FORWARD
• Having approved by Minister, RRA is a guiding document for the government
• Identifies concrete steps to improve enabling framework to promote RE deployment
• Implementation of RRA recommendations need to be led by the government
• And supported by IRENA and regional and development partners
