An act to provide for the establishment and incorporation of the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation, and for connected purposes.

An Act to establish the Price Control Board for controlling prices, and for connected purposes.

An act to regulate the importation, storage and sale of petroleum and to provide for matters relating and incidental thereto.

This policy replaces any previous published information on this subject. The policy covers requirements for the connecting of embedded generation to TPL’s distribution network. This covers factors such as the safety, quality of service, export price paid by TPL and overall control of generation distributed across TPL’s grids. TPL’s Gross Metering policy aims to ensure that all TPL’s customers have access to the benefits of renewable energy technologies. Electricity is a serious business and TPL’s gross metering policy aims to allow TPL customers to generate their own electricity without having a negative impact on other customers who are connected to the TPL grid.

The RE Policy was adopted by Cabinet on 24 March 2006. Its Vision is the following: ‘That by the year 2015, the Kingdom of Tonga achieves an optimal socio-economic structure achieved by sustainable energy development.’ Goal: ‘The provision of sufficient, socially, financially, economically, technically, politically and environmentally sustainable renewable energy systems.’

An act to repeal the Tonga Electric Power Board Act. This Act came into force on the same day as the Electricity Act 2007.

An act to make provisions relating to the issue of exploration licences and petroleum agreement with regard to exploration, prospecting and mining for petroleum in the Kingdom of Tonga and to provide for matters connected therewith.

The document lays out the renewable energy targets and policy outcome and strategies and financial requirements for achieving a sustainable energy future for all Solomon Islanders. The RE-SIP has three main objectives: 1. To provide guidance including funding requirement in utilising the renewable energy potentials and therefore increasing the access to appropriate, reliable, sustainable and affordable energy services in the urban and rural areas. 2. To identify and provide plans on how each of the un-electrified rural and urban households of the Solomon Islands will be served with an appropriate and affordable renewable energy technology. 3. To provide policy guidance and instruments (standards, regulations, net –metering policies) to enhance the use of renewable energy resources and their potentials. The Solomon Islands government has set a 50% renewable energy use for power generation by 2020 to be achieved through its Tina Hydro Development Project and the Savo Geothermal projects, both developments will be commissioned by the end of 2017.

The third volume of the Solomon Islands National Energy Policy and Strategic Plan presents the priorities of the government and the strategic directions for the petroleum sub-sector over the next five years. The Petroleum and Alternative Liquid Fuels Strategy and Investment plan (PET- ALT SIP) is one of the Solomon Islands Government Strategic Plan which is aligned to the 2014 National Energy Policy vision and goals. Petroleum use will continue for a long time and its use for electricity and transport has increased over the past years. Therefore coordination to monitor and regulates the safety and standards of imported petroleum products as well as providing fair prices to all people of the Solomon Islands is vital. This strategy provides complementary activities to improving the implementation of existing regulations relating to the petroleum pricing, safety and standards. The strategy has four outcomes, which are also taken from the SINEP petroleum sector priorities. 1) Supply and affordability of petroleum products to outer islands and remote rural locations are improved. 2) Petroleum storage and handling facilities conformed to local and international safety, health and environmental standards. 3) Regulated petroleum prices effectively monitored in the nine provinces. 4) Alternative fuel projects coordinated.

The EC-EC-SIP presents the priorities of the government and the strategic directions for the energy efficiency and conservation sub-sector over the next five years. This volume is aligned to the 2014 National Energy Policy vision and goals. EE-EC-SIP provides tactics and planned activities to reduce electricity demands in residential, government, industrial and commercial buildings, with a focus on lighting, refrigeration and air conditioning units, the major energy consumers. These activities will pursue the overall national energy policy goal on energy efficiency and improving energy conservation in all sectors by 2019.
