| Renewable energy in Pacific
Island Countries "Capacity building on
wind energy for Pacific Island Countries" aimed at strengthening the capability of Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to
effectively plan and manage the integration of wind generation into their
electricity sector. The project was financed by the Danish International Development
Assistance (Danida) through the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP),
with complementary financing from the Government of France.
The
project was implemented jointly by URC; the
University of the South Pacific, School of Pure and Applied Science
(USP/SPAS); and the South Pacific Applied
Geoscience Commission (SOPAC). URC was assisted by the Wind Energy Department
of Risoe National Laboratory.
Main activities included the
development of a post-graduate course on wind power at SPAS, the
installation of an experimental turbine, training of SPAS's staff
responsible for running the post-graduate course, the preparation of wind
energy development plans for PICs with promising wind potential, and a
regional seminar.
