The environmental issue of greatest concern to the people of Nauru is the degradation of the mined phosphate lands. In all of the series of consultations that were carried out between the people of Nauru and the various teams of technical experts to ascertain the feasibility of rehabilitating the island, it was constantly emphasised that the total degradation of topside, including localized inland, water shortages and coastal erosions are problems that need to be addressed for sustainable development.
The Nauru INDC hinges on the National Sustainable Development Strategy 2005-2025 (revised in 2019), the Nauru Energy Road Map 2014-2020, the second National Communication to the UNFCCC and the Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management Framework. In addition, relevant data and information have been used from the Nauru Bureau of Statistics and other government departments, private and civil society groups.
Project to finance a 6MW grid connected solar power plant and 2.5MWh/5MW battery energy storage system for solar smoothing energy storage. The system will be fully integrated and automated with the existing diesel generation (17.9 MW installed capacity currently manually operated) to optimize solar energy use, to enable optimal BESS charging/discharging and to provide optimal shut off of the diesel engines.
Energy poverty is widespread in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) of the Pacific. It is
estimated that 70 percent of Pacific islander households do not have access to electricity, which is
equivalent to access rates in sub-Saharan Africa and slightly below the average for low income
countries. Pacific SIDS face unique challenges in expanding access to electricity, given that their
populations are spread across tens of thousands of islands. Governments and development
Summary of energy situation in the Pacific including some of the challenges: isolated markets, small population base, limited skills and know-how, remote locations, small size markets, low economies of scale
The NERM is the implementation plan for Activities to facilitate Nauru’s energy sector development agenda. The main targets of the NERM 2014 - 2020 were that by 2020, Nauru would have:
i) 24/7 grid electricity supply with minimal interruptions.
ii) 50% of grid electricity supplied from renewable energy sources.
iii) 30% improvement in energy efficiency in the residential, commercial and government sectors.
Overview of the energy sector:
- Energy supply
- Energy Demand
- Renewable Energy Sources
- Regulations
- Problem Analysis
The aim of the present report is to provide a stock take of the current situation in the energy sector of Nauru and therefore inform a baseline which can be used in the development of the Nauru Energy Road Map (NERM). As such, this report will present:
General country context (geography, economy, population, etc.);
Energy sector landscape covering supply and demand and institutional arrangements;
Experience, potential and challenges in the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency; and,
Data needs for the energy road map and beyond.
Summary of Energy Status in Nauru including Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, Public flows renewables, access to electricity, access to clean cooking, per capita renewable capacity.
Nauru is an island country in southwestern Pacific Ocean consists of a raised 21 km2 coral island located in southeastern Micronesia, 40 km south of the Equator. The island is about 1,300 km northeast of the Solomon Islands; its closest neighbour is the island of Banaba, in Kiribati, approximately 300 km to the east. Nauru has no official capital, but government offices are located in the district of Yaren.
Vision - protect the health of the people and safeguard our fragile environment through improved, effective and efficient management of wastewater.
Introduction - Global Programme of Action for the the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities identifies priority action on sewage. The Waste Water Framework provides guiding principles and policies for future development and cooperation.
