COOK ISLANDS
NAMA Presentation
November 2013, Warsaw
50% of islands (inhabited) powered by renewable energy means by 2015.
100% of islands (inhabited) powered by renewable energy means by 2020.
Government Policy
Influencing Indicators Economical Climate Change
• Costly Maintenance of Diesel Generators.
• Quality of Power Supply.• Cost of Doing Business.• Government Subsidy. • Supply of Diesel (Outer
Islands).• Volatile Nature of Diesel
Prices.• Household Energy Budget.
• International Obligations• Mitigation Action (reducing
carbon emission)• Resilient Community
NAMA Description of NAMA The Cook Islands Government (CIG) has set a policy
goal for 100% renewable electricity by 2020 with a phased-in implementation plan that achieves 50% by 2015. (The level was estimated to be 6% at the end of 2011, ~300 kW out of ~5 MW.) This NAMA sets out the support requirements beyond that which has already been secured from international sources.

Mitigation BenefitsMitigation benefits
Using an emissions factor of 2.7 kgCO2/litre diesel, the avoided emissions based on the current total generation per annum in the Cook Islands is about 25 kt CO2.

(management)• Project Milestones• Technology performance• Carbon Emissions are measurable
MRV
• Development Partner processes• CI Financial Policies and Procedures (Law)• Paris Declaration for AID Effectiveness• Audit Processes• Project ToR require Verification/Liability
period
Development of the NAMA
• SPREP Assistance (Developed Pacific NAMA Guidelines Template & TA)
• Clear Policy and Political Will• Championed by the Prime Minister• An approved Implementation Plan• Involved a committee (MFAI, CCCI, REDD)• A story line was then determined• Consultancy Process took 2 weeks• Difficulty was on the Symantec's
Limitation
• Finance – Overall Cost NZ$220 Million» Incremental Cost to be considered
• Human Capacity – Pre-Implementation- Post Implementation
• Geographical Location & Distribution• Transportation – shipping• Change in Government – change in Priority
