Сводный обзор: 
Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs), together with regional and international development partners, provided input to the review of the Pacific Islands Energy Policy (PIEP) 2004 and developed this Framework. The process was coordinated by SPC with oversight and advice from the Pacific Islands Energy Advisory Group. The Framework is designed to provide guidance to PICTs to enhance their national efforts to achieve energy security and, in line with the principles of the Pacific Plan, to clarify how regional services can assist countries to develop and implement their national plans. The Framework for Action on Energy Security in the Pacific (FAESP) outlines a new approach to improving energy security in the region. The FAESP acknowledges that national energy policies and plans must be the principal means for achieving energy security and promotes a ‘whole of sector’ approach, based on the concept of ‘many partners, one team’.

Energy access priorities: 
Interventions must address inequities in access. They should consider specific gender and cultural needs, and support efforts to reduce poverty within and across countries and territories, based on facilitating access to adequate, reliable and affordable energy sources and services at all times by all people to sustain their livelihoods. ---Reliable, efficient, safe and affordable access to electric power and services for all PICT households and communities.
Energy access targets: 
Reliable, efficient, safe and affordable access to electric power and services for all PICT households and communities.
Efficiency
Приоритеты ЭЭ: 
Long-term objective: Environmentally clean, energy-efficient and cost-effective transportation systems within the region. ---Long-term objective: Efficient and cost-effective production (electricity, biofuels) and end-use of all forms of energy – modern and traditional – throughout the Pacific.
EE financial incentives: 
All assessments of proposed investments (whether grant, loan or internally financed) will include assessments of economic and financial viability and social and environmental implications. Energy efficiency benefits should be seen as a starting point. Serious efforts will be made to develop practical and effective financial mechanisms for energy.
Cooperation in EE: 
Long-term objective: Environmentally clean, energy-efficient and cost-effective transportation systems within the region. ---Long-term objective: Efficient and cost-effective production (electricity, biofuels) and end-use of all forms of energy – modern and traditional – throughout the Pacific.---Long-term objective: Environmentally clean, energy-efficient and cost-effective transportation systems within the region.---Assistance can be provided for developing regional or subregional technical standards for [...] energy efficiency (e.g. in lighting, refrigeration and air-conditioning). Support can also be provided for developing appliance labelling, testing and monitoring services for implementation of agreed standards, along with assistance on implementing the standards.
Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
Investment in clean and affordable energy, with a focus on renewable energy, needs to be stepped up to diversify the sources of energy in the region but also to help mitigate the environmental effects of using fossil fuels.
RE action plans: 
Long-term objective: Increased level of investment in proven renewable energy technologies (including biomass) in PICTs.
Cooperation in RE: 
Long-term objective: Increased level of investment in proven renewable energy technologies (including biomass) in PICTs, as part of the region’s strategic response to mitigating the harmful effects of petroleum fuels on environments and economies and, where feasible, supplementing and replacing petroleum fuels as the predominant source of energy.
Environment
Energy environmental priorities: 
While the region’s dependence on petroleum fuels will continue into the future, efforts will be made to adopt strategies that minimise harmful effects on the environment through systematic investment in cleaner fuels, renewable energy technologies, and energy efficiency and conservation. Support to PICTs will respect and protect the region’s biodiversity and natural ecosystems. ---Increased sustainability of current sources of energy and strengthened efforts to explore other sources of clean and affordable energy nationally and regionally.
Pollution control action plans: 
Mechanisms will be developed to improve the likelihood of long-term sustainable operation, to minimise pollutants and waste, and to reduce GHG emissions per unit of energy produced.
Decarbonization strategy: 
Any advice on energy investments should consider climate change issues such as adaptation, greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, and where possible, the clean development mechanism (CDM) or other carbon credit/carbon offset benefits.
Cooperation in env.: 
Long-term objective: Environmentally clean, energy-efficient and cost-effective transportation systems within the region.
Ценообразование
Energy pricing: 
Energy pricing is a national responsibility, as is the regulation of energy services and enactment of appropriate legislation. National authorities should ensure that energy prices cover the true cost of services, whether entirely through charges to the user or through charges plus subsidies.
Energy Supply and Infrastructure
Infrastructure development priorities: 
Reliable (sustainable) supply, safe transportation, and the infrastructure required to store and distribute high-quality, affordable and accessible petroleum fuels (and feasible liquid fuel alternatives) and their efficient use in all PICTs.
Trade
Standard power production and purchasing agreements: 
Development and enforcement of legal frameworks aimed at improving delivery of energy services (e.g. arrangements for independent power production, power purchase agreements, supportive legislation and regulations) are national responsibilities.
Investment
Energy sector investment priorities: 
Long-term objective: Increased level of investment in proven renewable energy technologies (including biomass) in PICTs. ---Any advice on energy investments should consider climate change issues such as adaptation, greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, and where possible, the clean development mechanism (CDM) or other carbon credit/carbon offset benefits. ---Investment is needed to build the capacity of people at various levels, both within and outside the energy sector, to gain the skills needed for planning, management and implementation of national energy plans.---Long-term objective: Increased level of investment in proven renewable energy technologies (including biomass) in PICTs, as part of the region’s strategic response to mitigating the harmful effects of petroleum fuels on environments and economies and, where feasible, supplementing and replacing petroleum fuels as the predominant source of energy.
Financial incentives for energy infrastructure: 
Serious efforts will be made to develop practical and effective financial mechanisms for energy. ---In general, finance should be made available for scholarships and other programmes for training Pacific Islanders at both sub-degree and degree level in technical, management and policy aspects of energy. ---Long-term objective: Scaled-up, better coordinated financing for clean and affordable energy in the region, with clear outcomes and milestones supported by a results-based M&E framework to measure achievements.
Independent power producers: 
The private sector plays a huge role in the production and supply of energy in PICTs and must be involved in the planning and implementation of energy solutions in PICTs. Development and enforcement of legal frameworks aimed at improving delivery of energy services (e.g. arrangements for independent power production, power purchase agreements, supportive legislation and regulations) are national responsibilities.
Investment climate development: 
Assistance can be provided for mobilising resources for the region and for individual PICTs to support implementation of regional and national energy polices and plans. Funding made available through this process would be in keeping with the priorities identified in this Framework and national implementation plans.---The role of the private sector should also be recognised and defined within a clear and transparent regulatory framework.
Public Private Partnerships: 
Within countries, ensuring energy security requires a coordinated whole-of-sector approach. [...] Industry stakeholders, including all those involved in the provision of energy and energy services, also need to be engaged. ---The emphasis will be on working closely with the private sector to improve the availability of timely and accurate energy data, with a view to achieving a ‘win-win’ solution.
Деятельность органов власти
Energy management principles: 
VISION: An energy secure Pacific. GOAL Secured supply, efficient production and use of energy for sustainable development.---Where practical, energy sector educational and training services can be provided at a sub-regional or multi-country level. This training should be supported regionally and should be of an appropriate standard for Pacific conditions.---PICTs are responsible for ensuring that energy considerations are included in national policies and plans and that energy policies/plans are consistent with and mainstreamed into national development plans and budget processes.
Coordination with regional energy associations: 
Better coordination and integration within CROP (Council of Regional Organisations in the Pacific) and non-CROP agencies, and with development agencies are necessary to ensure a collaborative approach to energy sector support and more effective use of private and government investments, including grant and loan finance.
M&E of policy implementation: 
The principle of one implementation plan, coordinated financing (primarily around national plans and initiatives), and one monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework are the foundation for the ‘many partners, one team’ approach. The M&E framework will be closely linked to relevant implementation and financing plans. ---PICTs are responsible for implementing M&E mechanisms to generate the data and information needed. ---Long-term objective: Scaled-up, better coordinated financing for clean and affordable energy in the region, with clear outcomes and milestones supported by a results-based M&E framework to measure achievements.
Statistics collection and management: 
Collecting the data required for energy analyses and decisions, and making it available to analysts (within the constraints imposed by statistical regulations), are national responsibilities. PICTs should make resources available for the routine collection of data, including resourcing institutions that carry out this task. ---Suitable mechanisms (regional and national) for energy sector data and information collection, consolidation, validation and management can be developed as required to support effective decision-making. Data on renewable energy resources (solar, wind, wave, ocean thermal), supply and demand should be assessed and made available in a useful form, and stored in a regional repository for policy makers and prospective developers.
Technology
Clean energy technology priorities: 
Urgent action to develop and invest in effective clean energy programmes is necessary, both to improve the ability of PICTs to withstand and adapt to economic shocks, as well as to contribute to wider efforts on climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Technology collaboration with other member States: 
Assistance can be provided for developing regional or subregional technical standards for a range of energy technologies, such as biofuel and photovoltaic (PV) systems; fuel storage and handling; and energy efficiency (e.g. in lighting, refrigeration and air-conditioning). Support can also be provided for developing appliance labelling, testing and monitoring services for implementation of agreed standards, along with assistance on implementing the standards. ---Most research on energy technologies will be undertaken outside the region. However, there are opportunities for practical, applied R&D that should be supported regionally. Regional tertiary institutes should collaborate with international partners to research and develop technologies that are appropriate and practical for the region.---PICT energy security can be enhanced through partnerships between island nations, while regional cooperation can address challenges such as energy security policies, trade and investment promotion, research and development, and capacity building.
