TA 6102-REG: Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program for the Pacific (REEP)

Purpose

The purpose of the TA is to help create an environment that will enable the development of a market-based rural energy sector, in which mature renewable energy and energy efficiency applications play a key and increasing role. The TA will also facilitate mobilization of external financing by building a pipeline of potential renewable energy and energy efficiency projects for funding/cofinancing by ADB, GEF and/or other sources.

Outputs

The outputs in two selected Pacific developing member countries (PDMCs) will include:
  1. review of, consultations on, and dissemination of lessons from past renewable energy and energy efficiency assistance in the Pacific;
  2. an action plan for the adoption of appropriate policies, institutional arrangements, legal/regulatory measures, and financial schemes including venture capital, as well as private sector and household-level incentive mechanisms for promoting commercially viable renewable energy and energy efficiency services;
  3. a training needs analysis and training curricula for private and public sector key players in the two PDMCs;
  4. a pipeline of projects for funding by ADB, GEF, and/or other relevant financing sources; and
  5. based on outcomes and progress made in the two selected countries, final consultations and dissemination of lessons learned from the TA to other PDMCs with a focus on establishing policy frameworks, building capacity, and replicating/disseminating good practices.
