IIEC Awarded Major Energy Efficiency Project in the Pacific

The International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) has been awarded a 3-year multi-million dollar energy efficiency project in the Pacific Islands by the Asian Development Bank. The project covers Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu.

 

The objective of the Promoting Energy Efficiency in The Pacific: Phase 2 (PEEP2) project is to stimulate energy efficiency through demand-side energy efficiency improvements in the residential, commercial, and government sectors in each of the five countries. The project will focus on reducing energy intensity, thereby enhancing energy security, making energy services more affordable to end-users, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

 

To achieve the proposed objective, the IIEC will start by setting up and improving the access to comprehensive information on energy use in each country to aid in decision making and policy development. Thereafter, the IIEC will use the information gathered to establish and support development of energy efficiency practices and programs, and support information dissemination and public awareness on energy efficiency best practices.
