Powering Up Remote Tuvalu Through Solar - Sustainable energy for Nukufetau, Nui and Nukulaelae.
Working together to improve access to reliable and environmentally sound energy services to three remote outer islands of Tuvalu - Nukufetau, Nui and Nukulaelae. The Pacific Islands Greenhouse Gas Abatement through Renewable Energy Project (PIGGAREP) was a partnership of the Government of Tuvalu, European Union, Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, United Nations Development Programme, Global Environment Fund, Ministry of Foreign Affairs - New Zealand. The global environment and development goal of PIGGAREP is the reduction of the growth rate of GHG emissions from fossil fuel use in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) through the removal of the barriers to the widespread and cost effective use of feasible renewable energy (RE) technologies. The specific objective of the project is the promotion of the productive use of RE to reduce GHG emission by removing the major barriers to the widespread and cost-effective use of commercially viable RE technologies (RETs).
