6 FAQs about [Beks energy Nauru]
Does Nauru have an energy road map?
Currently Nauru is working on an Energy Road Map, including action plans for the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency sufficient to significantly lower imports of diesel fuel for electricity generation.
What is Nauru energy policy framework (Nepf)?
The Nauru Energy Policy Framework (NEPF) was endorsed in 2009 and layout broad aims and strategies for the energy sector, including power, renewable and energy efficiency. The NUC currently provides all electricity services to Nauru except for RPC and the main processing plant of RONPHOS.
Why is Nauru so vulnerable to solar energy?
Solar energy is the only proven renewable energy resource which could be utilised in short to medium term to reduce dependency on fuel imports for electricity generation. The country’s vulnerability is also increased by its isolation from other Pacific Islands. In 2012, SPC released an energy profile of Nauru based on 36 energy security indicators.
How can we monitor progress towards Nauru's energy sector goals?
In order to monitor progress toward Nauru’s energy sector goals and to plan for future energy projects, it is essential that accurate, timely, (reasonably) complete, consistent, up-to-date and accessible data be collected, stored and maintained regarding renewable energy resources, energy imports and energy use in Nauru.
How can Nauru reduce its reliance on fossil fuels?
In order to achieve Nauru’s ambitious goal of reducing the country’s high reliance on imported fossil fuel by meeting 50% of its energy needs from renewable energy sources by 2015,1 the Nauru Government requested technical support from GIZ, SPC and IRENA in the development of a Nauru Energy Road Map in early 2012.
