This guide from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) can assist in decision making and help to carry out successful technical planning studies on solar and wind integration into SIDS power systems.
A webinar that presented key findings from the IRENA’s report “Transforming small island power systems” and sharing main takeaways from several grid assessment studies conducted in the recent past for the islands in Cook Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji.
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 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.
A number of countries including small islands are demonstrating that a higher share of VRE is possible, as long as you implement the appropriate technical, operational and regulatory measures.
A five-day workshop, jointly organised by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan and IRENA, aims to support the development of bankable project proposals to access climate finance, especially from the GCF, by various stakeholders, including Regional and National Direct AEs from SIDS.
The capacity building event was expected to contribute to the improvement of PPAs in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, South China Sea (AIS) region.
A number of SIDS are adopting targets and policies to incorporate substantial amounts of renewable energy into their electricity supply mix.
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.
This report highlights the role of islands in global efforts against climate change. It highlights transitions to renewables in the power, including planning and implementation, enabling business models and transition tools.
IRENA through the SIDS LHI and with the support of the OECS organised a capacity building activity in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, to enhance the capability of policymakers, power utilities and regulators to design, negotiate and implement bankable PPAs.
This special collection of country profiles takes stock of the latest developments in renewables in island settings around the world.
Many islands face shortages of fresh water. Desalination using renewable energy can meet their water needs at reduced costs, this report finds.
Islands around the world face crucial energy challenges, including fuel import dependency, high electricity costs, environmental sensitivity and vulnerability to climate change.
This renewables readiness assessment (RRA) identifies key actions to accelerate the deployment of renewables and ramp up energy transition efforts in the Solomon Islands.
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.
Following the success of the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative workshop on renewable energy project development and financing in the Indian Ocean Islands in 2018, IRENA co-organised the Regional Forum on Sustainable Energy in the Indian Ocean islands.
A training workshop jointly led by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and IRENA – Supporting the development of bankable bioenergy projects in Cuba – brought together governments, the private sector, civil society, local authorities and other international organizations to develop ambitious green solutions for a better energy transformation.
The Government of Barbados and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) co-hosted an event on the IRENA-Caribbean Cooperation for fostering Energy Transition Investments and Finance.
