OtherSummary:
Energy is a fundamental building block for the Kingdom of Tonga in its social and economic development and in enhancing the livelihood and wellbeing of all citizens. It affects all businesses and every household. Accessible, affordable and sustainable electricity that is environmentally responsible and commercially viable is a high priority.
The Government recognises that the full benefits of investing in renewable energy can only be realised when it is a part of an overall plan for the energy sector. Such a plan will incorporate improvements in petroleum supply chain and consideration of price hedging instruments, increased efficiency both in electricity supply and use, improved access to quality electricity services in remote areas, reduced environmental impacts both locally and globally and enhanced energy security, while ensuring the sector remains financially viable in the long term.
In April 2009, the Government embarked on a process to develop such an overall plan. This is the resulting document entitled the “Tonga Energy Road Map 2010-2020: Ten Year Road Map to Reduce Tonga’s Vulnerability to Oil Price shocks and Achieve an Increase in Quality Access to Modern Energy Services in an Environmentally Sustainable Manner”
