13. Workshops, sharing experience …….

14. Hands-on training

15. Awareness and education

16. Institutional Arrangements • Financial accounts • Revenue collection • Energy Act • O&M approaches • MOAs – host of equipment vs utility ownership • Tariff setting • Maintenance schedule

17. 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)

18. 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

19. 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

20. What would we do differently?

21. Better integration of energy with livelihood activities

23. Better rewarding community assistance

24. 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

25. What was not planned?

26. Typhoon /Hurricane

27. In Summary – achievements • 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
