6 FAQs about [Vanuatu energy system group]
How diverse is Vanuatu's primary energy supply?
The ability to assess the diversity of Vanuatu’s primary energy supply is limited because much of the supply comes from biomass, where there is a lack of recent and accurate data. Given this, the assessment below focuses on the mix of sources used for electricity generation.
Why is Vanuatu developing alternative fuels for generating electricity?
This growth is encouraging as it provides confidence that Vanuatu is developing alternatives to diesel for generating electricity. This will reduce reliance on a single fuel (and the related risks to affordability) as well as achieve renewable energy targets for sustainability purposes.
What is Vanuatu's national energy road map?
The overall vision of the 2013 version of the National Energy Road Map (NERM) is to energise Vanuatu’s growth and development through the provision of secure, affordable, widely accessible, high quality, clean energy services for an educated, healthy, and wealthy nation. Vanuatu’s NERM was first endorsed by the Council of Ministers in 2013.
How has the NERM shaped Vanuatu's energy sector?
Since the NERM was launched, Vanuatu’s economy and energy sector have continued to develop. External events, such as Cyclone Pam in early-2015, have also shaped how energy sector policies and priorities are conceived. The purpose of this document is to update the NERM to reflect recent developments.
Are Vanuatu buildings energy-efficient?
Vanuatu’s buildings are, in general, not energy-efficient. Comfort and built-in energy demand such as space cooling and lighting are intrinsically related to building design and are best addressed during design and construction.
How can the NERM improve the affordability of energy in Vanuatu?
The NERM has established several targets and priorities to improve the affordability of energy in Vanuatu. These include a quantified target for diesel generation efficiency, as well as broader objectives and specific actions to achieve affordability.
