What would we do again?
Multi-country Programme• Funds from the EU (EDF-10) National Indicative Programme• 3 Financing Agreements between the EU and the Countries
(RMI, FSM & Palau)• 1 Contribution Agreement between EU and SPC• Implementing partner is SPC• Partnership between the EU, RMI-FSM-Palau and SPC

Workshops, sharing experience …….
Hands-on training
Awareness and education
Institutional Arrangements
• Financial accounts• Revenue collection• Energy Act• O&M approaches• MOAs – host of
equipment vs utility ownership
• Tariff setting• Maintenance schedule
Multi-stakeholder involvement
• Governments (e.g. in the FSM, 5 governments)• Government entities• Power utilities• Local educational institutions (e.g. Palau
Community College)• NGOs (WUTMI – women united towards Marshall
Islands)• Other projects (e.g. ADMIRE & SEDREA)• Other regional organizations (e.g. PPA)• Financial institutions (e.g. National Development
Bank of Palau)
Procurement modalities
• Turn-key (supply & install)• Supply of equipment only • Supply of equipment and training on installation• Installation by local power utilities• Installation outsourced but separate from
supplier of equipment
Forward Looking
• Palau Energy Act• Policy Review• Wind resource monitoring• Coconut resource
assessment• Satowan (Chuuk, FSM)
engineering design for a solar-diesel hybrid system
• ACSE – project development document on net metering for small scale grid connected RE systems
What would we do differently?
Better integration of energy with livelihood activities
Better rewarding community assistance
• Transportation arrangements• Sustainability approaches• Meeting demands (small
community projects – e.g. up to US$50k – linking to proposal /project development training)
• Bridging into next funding cycle(s)
• Fostering of more partners (co-funding) and synchronizing implementing timeframes
What was not planned?
Typhoon /Hurricane
• North-REP = EUR15.49m• 3 PICTs = total population of approx. 300,000• Affects 12% of the total population of the 3 PICTs• 1.8MW of renewable energy (RE) – new installations• 17,000 people access to basic electricity for the first time• 20,000 people improved access• Public facilities: 5 health Centres & 15 Schools – first time
access• Contribution to meeting the National Energy Policy targets• Institutionalization of RE course on grid connected PV• Access to finance: EE retrofitting loans programme for
residential & commercial buildings
In Summary – achievements
Thank You
