POLICIES
STRATEGIES
Improve energy efficiency
in the electricity sector.
yyImplement programmes to ensure efficiency in energy use.
yyUpdate the codes and standards for buildings and industry to require, among others, minimum
standards for energy use for ventilation, cooling and lighting and enforce the application of these in
both the public and private sectors.
Increase the number of
communities utilising Fiji
Rocket clean cook stoves
yyContinue to educate communities regarding the construction and maintenance of the Rocket Clean
Cook stoves.
Reduce cost of petroleum
imports and further
develop biofuels (biodiesel
and ethanol) for electricity
and transport, while
ensuring safety and
security of supply.
yyImplement various measures and programmes to reduce the volume and cost of imported petroleum
products, while ensuring safety and security of supply.
yyContinue research and implementation of programmes to develop and increase production of
biofuel where cost-effective.
yyImprove sustainable supply of copra to the rural biofuel mills through replanting programmes.9
Long-term sustainability
of renewable energy
resources based on the
principles of the Green
Growth Framework.
yyImplement Green Growth Framework for Fiji, in particular Way Forward outlined in Thematic Area
7 on Energy Security.
yyImprove the effectiveness and sustainability of existing management models for off grid rural
electrification including Renewable Energy Service Companies and community cooperatives to
provide electricity to isolated communities and areas not served by the FEA.
