Сводный обзор: 
The Government of Tuvalu provides for background information and defines targets for INDCs. In particular, it considers that the focus of INDCs should primarily be mitigation and describes its aimed mitigation actions.
Efficiency
Приоритеты ЭЭ: 
Large scale implementation of energy efficiency improvements will also help reduce the electricity demand.
EE action plans: 
The energy efficiency programme will include public education, energy audits and technology improvements. A proposed World Bank project is aimed at providing additional energy generation from solar PV and will include investment in modest wind-power capacity. The role of wind in Tuvalu’s future power mix is likely to be smaller than solar PV, it will serve as an important capacity building in this technology for TEC. The solar PV investment will provide sufficient battery storage and a power-conditioning system to ensure grid stability, as intermittent RE sources become an increasingly dominant portion of Fogafale’s power mix. ---Energy efficiency improvements will be initially targeted on Funafuti. [...] The energy efficiency programme will include public education, energy audits and technology improvements.[...] A proposed World Bank project is aimed at providing additional energy generation from solar PV [...] In addition, the project will finance strategic EE investments in the largest electricity-consuming sectors.
EE standards for appliances: 
Under a proposed Energy Efficiency Act, The Government of Tuvalu will introduce legislation to promote energy efficiency, and control the importation, use and sale of inefficient electrical appliances into the country. Under the Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2015, which will come into effect on 1 January 2016, Minimum Energy and Performance Standards and Labelling (MESPL) will determine importation and use of appliances and goods.

Renewable Energy
RE targets: 
Tuvalu’s Master Plan for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (TMPREEE), 2012-2020, outlines the way forward to generate electricity from renewable energy and to develop an energy efficiency programme. It has two stated goals: 1. To generate electricity with 100% renewable energy by 2020, [...].---According to TMPREE, Tuvalu must develop 6 MW renewable energy electricity generation capacity in the next eight years. ---Conversion or replacement of the existing diesel generators to run on bio-­‐diesel fuel was proposed to take place in the last stage of the renewable electricity programme. It is estimated that 5% of the annual electricity production will be supplied from bio-­‐diesel generation.
RE action plans: 
To meet the above objectives, electricity will be generated using renewable energy in all the nine islands of Tuvalu. The Outer Islands are being developed as a priority [...].---In order to provide the required area for the PV arrays, in 2011 the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC) announced the “1000 Solar Roof Programme”. In this programme, about half of the current roof space of the buildings in Funafuti will be occupied by PV arrays. In the case of the Outer Islands where more ground space is available, it is likely that a mix of roof mounted and ground mounted arrays will be adopted.---Under a World Bank project proposal (described below) wind turbines will be installed from 2016 onwards. ---A proposed World Bank project is aimed at providing additional energy generation from solar PV and will include investment in modest wind-­‐power capacity.
RE prioritization, portfolio standards: 
Currently, 50% of electricity is derived from renewables, mainly solar, and this figure will rise to 75% by 2020 and 100% by 2025.
Cooperation in RE: 
Under a World Bank project proposal (described below) wind turbines will be installed from 2016 onwards.
Environment
Energy environmental priorities: 
Tuvalu’s INDC includes unconditional, conditional and aspirational contribution to reducing emissions. The unconditional contribution includes actions that Tuvalu has already undertaken through renewable energy programmes to reduce, significantly, its reliance on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation. It will continue to push, through other measures such as conservation, education and energy efficiency and other measures, recognizing its extreme vulnerability to the impacts of fossil fuel prices [...].
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
Tuvalu commits to reduction of emissions of green-house gases from the electricity generation (power) sector, by 100%, ie almost zero emissions by 2025. Tuvalu’s indicative quantified economy-wide target for a reduction in total emissions of GHGs from the entire energy sector to 60% below 2010 levels by 2025.
Cooperation in env.: 
Climate change is a cross-­‐cutting development issue as it affects every aspect of the Tuvaluan way of life and livelihoods. [...][T]he people of Tuvalu must collectively build and strengthen the nation’s resilience to combat climate change. However, this cannot be done alone and in isolation; regional and global cooperation is imperative to put Tuvalu on a pathway to climate change resilience and sustainable development.
Energy Supply and Infrastructure
Энергетическая смесь: 
Currently, 50% of electricity is derived from renewables, mainly solar, and this figure will rise to 75% by 2020 and 100% by 2025.
Trade
Предварительные решения: 
Under the Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2015, which will come into effect on 1 January 2016, Minimum Energy and Performance Standards and Labelling (MESPL) will determine importation and use of appliances and goods.
Technology
Clean energy technology priorities: 
Whilst the focus in renewable energy has largely been the solar through PVs, Tuvalu is ready to embrace other technologies, for example harnessing ocean energy, once these become available and affordable. ---The goal to pursue a zero carbon development pathway by 2050 is dependent on availability of finance and technology.
