Project context, objectives and description
The UNDP in partnership with the GEF will deliver the Facilitating Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Applications for Greenhouse Emission Reduction Project (FREAGER).
This project aims to demonstrate the potential of renewable and energy efficiency measures in PNG. It will be delivered under four components. These components are i.) Analysis, assessment and improvements in energy policy and regulations ii.) The demonstration of the benefits of renewable energy technology through the piloting of micro-hydro and mini-solar projects iii.) The development of models to better finance renewable energy solutions among communities iv.) Efforts to increase normative change on the use of renewable energy and greater energy efficiency among decisions makers. Together they will aim to demonstrate a range of renewable technologies to encourage their broader replication and up-take. GGGI was hired to carry out the first component of the project.
Both renewable energy and energy efficiency are vast areas of analysis. While renewable energy is mostly used for electricity generation, it also has relevant applications for heat and transport. Using renewables for electricity generation should distinguish between on-grid and off-grid infrastructure as well as between individual sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, etc., each with its challenges and solutions. Similarly, energy efficiency measures are relevant buildings, transport, and industry sectors, ranging from improved insulation to more energy efficient motors and less energy intensive processes.
To make the findings of the policy gap analysis as well as the of recommendations as relevant as possible, the analysis focussed on areas where renewable energy and energy efficiency measures are most relevant in PNG, i.e. where they offer the most benefits at the lowest cost. The reports provide a detailed rationale for the areas and technologies they recommend.
The overall objective of this project is to demonstrate a range of renewable technologies to encourage their broader replication and up-take and this project is aligned with IO1. Strengthened national, sub-national and local green growth planning, financing, and institutional frameworks.
