Kiribati Integrated Energy Roadmap- 2017-2025
Overall Summary: 
Kiribati Integrated Energy Roadmap (KIER): 2017-2025 comprehensive energy roadmap, which takes into account renewable energy and energy efficiency potential in all sectors from 2017 to 2025. The findings of this roadmap show that power sector is a key area, where the ongoing efforts from the deployment of solar PV should be continued and complemented with and improvement of efficiency in Kiribati’s entire energy system, including electricity use, heating, cooling and transport.
Efficiency
EE targets: 
The following renewable energy targets have been adopted by Kiribati as official policy goals. The KIER analysis has established how these goals are to be achieved and their estimated costs. »» The goal for Tarawa is a 45% reduction in fossil fuel use by 2025. 23% of this goal will be achieved through deployment of renewable energy and 22% through improvements in energy efficiency. »» The goal for Kiritimati is a 60% reduction in fossil fuels by 2025. 40% is to be achieved through deployment of renewable energy and 20% through improvements in energy efficiency. »» The goal for the Outer Islands is a 60% reduction in fossil fuel use in all rural public infrastructure, including Southern Kiribati Hospital and ice plants, (40% through deployment of renewable energy and 20% through improvements in energy efficiency) by 2025.

The goal for rural public and private institutions (e.g. Boarding schools, the Island Council, private amenities and households) is to meet of 100% electricity demand with renewable energy by 2025.
