How can vget contribute to a sustainable future for Vanuatu?

VGET's work on renewable energy sources will play a significant role in shaping a sustainable future for Vanuatu, with the project to serve as a valuable inspiration for other Pacific Island Countries and Small Island Developing States on their own paths towards a sustainable future.

What is Vanuatu's national energy road map?

Through its National Energy Road Map and in line with the goals of its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement, Vanuatu aims for 100 percent rural electrification and a total transition to renewable energy by 2030.

Does Vanuatu have a good solar energy resource?

Vanuatu generally has a good solar energy resource for all islands. Vanuatu’s Meteorological Services has collected solar insolation data at several sites for many years using high-quality pyranometers.

Can coconut oil be used for community-level electricity generation in Vanuatu?

Coconut oil (CNO) appears to be technically feasible for community-level electricity generation in Vanuatu but, but as shown in the Port Orly system in Espiritu Santo (described in Section 3.3), a combination of technical, social and economic factors, may make it impractical for remote communities.

Does Vanuatu have a wind energy potential?

The large amount of wind energy data that has already been collected be located, assembled at DoE, professionally analyzed, maintained in a database and a report be produced on Vanuatu’s practical wind energy potential with locations and gaps in coverage clearly shown.

Does uncertainty calibration matter for solar power simulations in Vanuatu?

Table 2: Summary of uncertainty calibration for solar power simulations in Efaté, Vanuatu. Since only monthly production totals were available for wind it was not possible to test the uncertainty calibration due to having an insufficient number of samples to make a meaningful comparison.
