The framework defines the strategies that government is taking to ensure that the objectives of the policies are fully realised. In developing the energy policy framework government is mindful of the critical role of the energy sector in the attainment of its overall socio-economic development goals of improving the livelihood of all its peoples. Tuvalu National Energy Policy 2009 7 Important Policy Considerations for Tuvalu Tuvalu National Energy Policy 2009 8 There are three principal energy policy considerations detailed in the Tuvalu National Energy Policy Framework, namely: (i) Supply issues: For Tuvalu the provision of adequate, secure, and cost-effective energy supplies through the promotion of indigenous energy resources specifically renewable energy resources using the least cost options and diversification of supply sources both from within and outside the country is critical to ensuring security of supply. (ii) Utilisation issues: The efficient utilization of energy and to discourage wasteful and non-productive patterns of energy consumption is vital for a country that is so dependent on imported energy sources. (iii) Environmental issues: Due to the fragility of the environment in Tuvalu government always place environmental issues high on its agenda. Therefore it is important that the energy policies are targeted at minimising the negative impacts of energy production, transportation, conversion, utilisation and consumption on the environment. This policy framework provides details of how the government of Tuvalu can effectively address the three critical considerations highlighted above. Along this line the policy framework has identified seven strategic areas on which appropriate policies are formulated. Tuvalu National Energy Policy 2009 9

1. Energy Sector Planning, Co-ordination, and Management Government must establish its capacity to plan, coordinate and manage energy sector development plans. There is a Department of Energy established in the Ministry of Public Utilities and Industries, the effectiveness of this department depends to a great extent on the resources available at its disposal. More importantly, the department needs to be provided with a formal framework - covering institutional, financial and legal issues - to facilitate its operation. There are a host of stakeholders and players in the energy sector therefore policies addressing the different sector of the economy and their diverse stakeholders need proper planning and coordination.

2. Petroleum Tuvalu is heavily dependent on imported petroleum fuels. There is a high priority need to address petroleum consumption issues in all sectors of the economy and to devise appropriate policy responses, such as energy conservation initiatives and the greater use of energy pricing and taxation as instruments for petroleum conservation and end use efficiency. The maintenance of a reliable and cost effective supply of petroleum products is essential for Tuvalu. With rising fuel cost, and the possibility of the price of crude oil hovering close to US$100 per barrel mark in the not too distant future, the fuel supply chain and its mechanism will need to be reassessed. All efforts should be directed towards minimising the adverse impacts on the economy of such huge hikes in prices and measures should include looking at available alternative energy sources. The impact of petroleum spillages and emissions on the environment can be significant, particularly for the fragile atoll marine Tuvalu National Energy Policy 2009 environments. For this reason, the proper handling, storage and use of petroleum products is an important issue for Tuvalu. It is therefore essential for government to put in place a policy framework that provides sufficient autonomy and financial incentive to maintain supply of petroleum products in a commercially orientated and cost effective manner, that sets appropriate price signals to encourage their conservation and efficient use, and that enforces sufficient regulation and control measures to protect the Tuvalu environment. 10

3. Transport The transport sector consumes quite a substantial volume of imported fuels. This is expected, as modern transport systems are very much reliant on imported fossil fuels. In Tuvalu more than 50% of petroleum imports are used in the transport sector. Clearly, this calls for appropriate measures to conserve transport fuels and increase their efficiency use. It may also be prudent to look at the type and size of vehicles imported into the country.

4. Electricity The importance of establishing a reliable electricity supply to support socio-economic development cannot be understated. Electricity has been proven to the world over as a vehicle for development. It is for this fact that the provision of electricity both in the urban and rural areas is critical and given high priority in the government development plan (Te Kakeega II). The Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC), the Government owned power utility supplying power to Funafuti and also to the outer islands, needs to be nurtured and strengthened to ensure that electricity supplies are permanent and sustainable. Measures such as institutional strengthening, capacity building and asset management should be given prominence in the corporate planning programme of TEC.

5. Renewable Energy Tuvalu National Energy Policy 2009 The link between energy and the environment highlights the importance of having to place more efforts to the development of the renewable energy resources available in Tuvalu. The development of renewable energy resources to diversify the energy mix in Tuvalu offers some degree of security for the energy supply in Tuvalu. The development of renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, bio-fuel, etc, provides a good prospect to broaden the energy supply sources in Tuvalu. Tuvalu was one of the first PICs to have established a solar energy company. But due to poor management and other related issues, the company stopped operating. Given renewed interest in Government’s commitment to the promotion of renewable energy the revival of the solar energy company will be necessary. 11

6. Conservation and Efficiency Policy responses to address the efficient use of energy sources promote economic gains and augurs well with the responses aimed at addressing environmental issues. The rising energy cost together with the associated adverse impacts of energy production and use on the environment necessitate policy responses aimed at conserving and the efficient use of energy.

7. Environment The adverse impacts caused as a result of energy production, transportation and use can be counter-productive to development efforts. Scientific evidence related to the cause of global warming and associated extreme weather patterns points to the inefficient production, transportation and use of energy. Although the impacts of Tuvalu’s responses to minimising Green House Gas (GHG) emission may be insignificant, the adverse impacts of global warming and sea level rise pose a real threat to the very survival of Tuvalu. Therefore it is imperative for Tuvalu to demonstrate to the world its commitment to contribute to the protection of the environment. Tuvalu National Energy Policy 2009 12 Key Strategic Areas and Policies 13 Tuvalu National Energy Policy 2009 1.0 Energy Sector Planning, Co ordination, and Management Policies 1.1 Maintain and strengthen the Department of Energy’s capacity to plan, and manage the implementation of the national energy policy. 2.1 Establish and maintain formal links between the Department of Energy and Government agencies, including public corporations and Kaupule, the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation (TEC), NGOs and the private sector involved in the energy sector.. 3.1 Consolidate all energy sector planning, co ordination and management so as to rationalise decision making and ensure more reliable and effective energy sector planning, management and oversight. 4.1 Establish an Energy Coordinating Committee (ECC) and as required, convene ECC meetings to discuss and provide advice and recommendations to the Department of Energy on major energy sector issues and initiatives. 5.1 Promote public awareness programmes on energy related gender issues.
