Bioenergy development project is for the feasibility study to convert twelve (12) existing diesel engines that provide electricity to rural communities and villages to use gas from woody biomass gasifiers fully or partially or totally substitute for diesel oil in generating electricity. The transportation of relatively small amount of diesel fuel to villages and rural communities in Fiji, is very costly. Woody biomass is a major renewable energy resource and its conversion into a fuel for generating electricity would provide a local sustainable source of fuel to meet electricity needs of villages and communities that now depend on diesel oil imports to have electricity. Rural communities in Fiji have been experiencing a lack of reliable and consistent 24/7 supply of electricity for a long time due to 1) the remoteness of most of the rural villages and communities, 2) the lack of proper infrastructure like roads, telecommunications, boats etc., 3) the use and heavy dependency (of the rural people) on diesel and other petroleum products to produce electricity 800,000 800,000

GRENADA [4]Exploration and Development of a 10 MW Geothermal Power: The project is for the development of Grenadas geothermal resources. The nations power sector depends on diesel fuels for almost 100 percent of electricity, despite its geothermal resource endowment, in which very limited resources have been invested to date to exploit this resource. The project would focus on the initial exploration to confirm the best location, scale and characteristic of the resource to be followed by commercial development through partnership with the private sector 90,000,000

Building-integrated Renewable Energy Systems: Project is for the creation of a blended grant/loan mechanism to provide concessionary financing to companies/individuals to purchase RE and EE equipment. The high price of electricity provides opportunities for energy users to invest in energy efficiency and conservation and to realize pay back periods between six and thirty six months very few investments in SIDS have such potential with the same level of risk. A major obstacle and a principle result for low investments is the availability and cost of investment capital. Commercial interest rates are in the majority of SIDS significantly higher than 10 percent, and combined with the higher upfront cost for energy efficient devices, for example a fluorescent bulb is 500 to 600 percent more costly than an incandescent light. The result is limited investment relative to the potential. Blended loan that combine grants with commercial funding would reduce the cost and increase investment, positively impact the availability of EE financing 3,000,000

Waste-to-Energy Feasibility Study: The mountainous topography of the country presents major challengers for the collection and disposal of solid waste.

The cost of electricity in Jamaica has been increasing reaching approximately USD 0.41 in 2011 620,000 310,000

Establishment of Energy Efficiency Indices for the Jamaican Private Sector: Project to implement the efficiency and green economy goals of Jamaicas National Energy Policy, it is necessary to set baseline data for electricity consumption. While Government of Jamaica is far advanced in implementing public sector efficiency measures, solid data and planning tools do not exist for the wider public. To create such tools, necessary data must be systematically gathered. Such data forms the basis for the precise targeting of energy efficiency interventions. Project will support a survey to ascertain the location, size and activity of non-residential electricity customers. This survey, in conjunction with available data from the utility provider, will form the scientific basis for the establishment of EIs (energy consumption per unit area or per unit of business output), which will be differentiated by business activity and location. By further leveraging this data with mapping, smart metering and other data sets, a powerful tool for energy efficiency implementation, policy planning and monitoring, and demand management will be created 165,000 15,000

Feasibility study for waste to energy system for the production or a minimum of 30 MW from the solid waste facility: The Riverton City solid waste facility handles in excess of XXX tons per day of mixed solid waste, comprised of solid waste collected from households, businesses, institutions, and from cleaning of streets and highways. The solid waste disposal facility is located some 2 miles for the major sewage treatment which is being expanded to treat some 60 million gallons of waste water per day. The feasibility study will determine the best option for maximizing the use of these resources for the production of base load power to lessen dependence on diesel fuel 280,000

Pre-feasibility Study for 40 MW Hydro-electricity plants in Eastern Jamaica: Project would review the data that was developed from an earlier project to see that potential for up to a 40 MW plant in the eastern part of the island on the Rio Grande river. The study would look both at run of the river and storage systems 100,000

Development of a Renewable Energy and Efficiency Training Facility: The project is to develop a regional training facility at the Wigton wind farm facility. The project would put in place the first hands-on training facility for Wind, PV and bioenergy technologies 500,000

Development of a 10 MW bioenergy project to provide base load power: The project would will utilize biomass from leguminous tree plantation established on the Southern coast of the island, on lands marginal for food production due to water availability and that research has proven is a feasible location of the production of solid biofuels from fast growing leguminous trees. The project would use harvested biomass from plantations already established supplemented by imported torrified pellets 30,000,000

Pilot commercial demonstration of Biodiesel and biomass pellets production: Using inedible oils seeds and grasses grown on mined-out bauxite lands as a means of land rehabilitation and watershed protection. The project is based on the results of ongoing research where: both castor bean crop and vetiver grass are successfully grown on mined out lands and on steep slopes of watershed areas for on the production of oil seeds, and fibrous biomass respectively; which are them combined to produce biofuels for transport and power generation. The combination of crops and location is anticipated to demonstrate an Agro-energy system that combine use of margin crop land (mined out areas and loping lands) for sustainable biofuels production combined with improved soil and water conservation 350,000

MALDIVES (REPUBLIC OF) [2]PV System Project GDh. Vaadhoo - installation of solar-diesel hybrid power system Until recently when utility companies were formed, the power system of GDh, Vaadhoo was managed by the Island Development Committee (IDC). It is recorded to have 175 connections, a capacity of 188 kilowatts (pure diesel generation) at which peak load goes upto 85 kilowatts. The project being proposed is a solar-diesel hybrid power system. The Solar Resource Assessment for Sri Lanka and Maldives produced by NREL show that in Maldives, the high levels of solar resource throughout the entire country make it well suited for off-grid, island-based photovoltaic applications as an alternate to, or supplement to, diesel power generators, hence, indicating solar PV to be a technically favorable option 934,670 934,670

Solar/Diesel hybrid system for Nolhivaram: Nolhivaram island is located in the East part of Haa Dhaalu Atoll, about 277.80 km from of Male. Nolhivaram has a population of 2192 people. Like other islands of Maldives Nolhivaram also have 24 hour electricity. However electricity demand of the island is met by operating diesel-generator sets. These generators depend on imported and centrally stored fossil fuel resource. This situation is very vulnerable and lead to power cut for a long period of time. Hence incorporating more reliable and sustainable means of electricity generation into the existing power system is much needed. The PV system is planned to operate in conjunction with the existing diesel system on the island, whereby the PV system in principle provides power during the day, and the diesel system during the evening and night 1,154,670 1,154,670

REGIONALTechnical Assistance for Preparation of Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility Studies: Project involving Technical Assistance to Caribbean Governments to evaluate the potential viability of waste-to-energy projects as an alternative to the ongoing social, environmental and financially costly disposal that is now the case in most countries. Due to limited land availability, growing population and increased importation of goods, many SIDS are facing problems with the management of the various forms of waste, ranging from municipal, sewage, medical, to agro-industrial waste. In far too many cases, there is improper disposal of waste. Improper disposal of waste is a major source of coastal zone pollution and a growing threat to critical marine ecosystems which are already experiencing growing stress from increasing temperatures, and pollution. The potential projects to be evaluated include: Utilization of rum distillery waste Conversion of sewage Conversion of municipal solid waste and other available biomass resources into energyEvaluation and per-feasibility studies will be conducted in partnership with technology providers.

REGIONALPilot Renewable Energy And Efficient Lighting Project: As part of the SIDS DOCK CCI MoU, Member Countries seek to accelerate the implementation of large-scale efficient street lighting across the SIDS. Based on technological advancement in lighting and PV systems, there is a significant need for expanding to communities who have no access, as well as reducing the high cost of providing public lighting, which is now provided by high priced electricity, generated primarily by diesel-fired power generation. For example, power tariffs are roughly USD 0.40/kWh in most countries in the Caribbean. Coupled with pervasive use of conventional street lighting technologies, it is widely believed that introducing LED street lights would generate significant energy savings with relatively short payback periods. Potential benefits of LED versus conventional high intensity discharge technologies in street lighting are said to include not just reduced energy use of 40-70%, but also significantly lower maintenance requirements and costs, improved lighting quality, reduced light trespass and enhanced controllability. 1,000,000 1,000,000

REGIONALEnergy Independent Healthcare Facilities: A pilot project to provide the foundation for the conversion of all hospitals to sustainable energy to make them functional during times of natural disasters and period where there is no utility services for prolonged periods.
