The SIDS Lighthouses Initiative was launched at the 2014 UN Climate Summit to support Small Island Developing States (SIDS) energy system transformation and facilitate co-ordinated support through partnerships with public, private, intergovernmental, and non-governmental stakeholder organisations. The Initiative, co-ordinated by IRENA, brings together 36 SIDS and 21 development partners, and takes a holistic approach that considers all relevant elements from policy and market frameworks, through technology options to capacity building.
MOEJ and IRENA organised a three-day training program to support the development of project proposals to access climate finance by SIDS stakeholders through various entities including local banks and climate finance entities.
The capacity building workshop was a national level, 2-days training that covered the theoretical aspect of climate investments and flows as well as the approaches and practices adopted to track and report these investments and financial flows.
This event was the fourth segment of Grenada’s Capacity Building Programme which aimed to strengthen the capacity of relevant stakeholders to conduct energy audits to better understand and manage energy consumption.
The High-Level Dialogue organised by AOSIS and IRENA shared insights on the impact of the current crisis on energy in SIDS, highlighting country experiences, exploring the role of financial institutions and identifying prospects for renewable energy in the near and medium term.
This event was the third segment of Grenada’s Capacity Building Programme which aimed to strengthen the capacity of relevant stakeholders to conduct energy audits to better understand and manage energy consumption.
The capacity building event was expected to contribute to the improvement of PPAs in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, South China Sea (AIS) region.
The capacity building event contributed to the improvement of PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) in the region and enhanced the capability of local utilities and regulators to design bankable contracts, with the final goal of contributing to effective commitment of private capital to the deployment of renewable energy projects in SIDS of the Pacific.
Member countries and observer institutions met during the IRENA 8th Assembly in 2018 to identify the best options for IRENA to facilitate the development of renewable energy projects in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
This webinar aimed to present key findings from the IRENA’s report Transforming small island power systems, share main takeaways from several grid assessment studies, and launch the Agency’s new report on “Quality Infrastructure for Smart Mini-grids”.
The workshop aims to achieve consensus on the importance of participating in and reporting on the progress of SIDS LHI implementation.
The workshop contributed in enhancing the capacities of local stakeholders in SIDS in structuring renewable energy project financing deals, and eventually increase the number of projects that are financed in SIDS.
The session covered presentations on methodology for developing the IRENA’s SolarCity simulator with a demonstration.
The Solomon Islands Renewable Readiness Assessment (RRA) report launch event is scheduled from 6th to 8th February 2024 in Honiara, Solomon Islands.
