ALM UNDP

Summary:

At the start of the project more than 575,000 homes (71.7 per cent) in Bolivia's rural areas had no electricity - a sign of poverty and social exclusion. Without electricity the population is denied equal opportunities of economic and social development.

Summary:

The project impact will be increased availability of reliable and sustainable power supply at reasonable cost. The outcome will be a power sector development project design agreed between the Government of PNG and ADB.

Main outputs will include the:

1. Updated least-cost power sector development plan,

2. Preliminary design and costing of prioritized core subprojects,

3. Financial and economic analysis of the power sector development plan and its core subprojects,

4. Environmental and social safeguards due diligence of the core sub-projects,

Summary:

The development objective of the Fiji Renewable Power Development Project is to help the Borrower continue to meet the growing demand for electricity in the Republic of Fiji at least cost by further developing a reliable diversified sustainable energy portfolio. In particular, the Bank will assist the Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA) in diversifying its energy portfolio to reduce its dependence on diesel oil. Key indicators include: 1. The renewable energy capacity (MW) added to the grid; 2. Amount of actual generation added to the grid (GWh); 3.

Summary:

 The main development objective of this project is to improve the life of rural human services providers by making available affordable, environmentally sound, basic electricity services from renewable energy. This will help improve teacher and health worker retention by reducing isolation (through access to radio and other communications) and providing safer and better living conditions (through access to lower-cost, better quality lighting).

Summary:

The Electric Power Corporation (EPC), the Government of Samoa, the Secretariat of the Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) and UNDP Samoa will undertake a preparatory phase for a Samoa Photovoltaic (PV) Electrification Programme. The preparatory phase will undertake a household survey of un-electrified households in Samoa; determine the resources available and the technical, economical, financial, and institutional feasibility of carrying out a Samoa Rural Electrification Program based on PV; and prepare a Program Document (i.e.

Summary:

The project (Fiji: Promoting Sustainability of Renewable Energy Technologies and Renewable Energy Service Companies), hereinafter referred to as the Fiji RE Project, is a Global Environment Facility (GEF)-supported project aimed at removing barriers to the implementation of renewable energy systems for rural electrification in Fiji and began in 2000.

Summary:

The development of a resource efficient, cost effective, and environmentally sustainable power sector is essential for enhancing social stability and achieving the Government's 5% growth target for 2009. Good performance of the power sector and high quality electricity services are vital for promoting private investments for diversification of the economy and achieving higher level of economic growth.
